Abstract: | This paper aims to seek to characterize the knowledge management (KM) process of the ageing human capital, within the sectors of aeronautics and bio-technologies in Canada. Based on literature and a collection of data involving semi-directed interviews followed by a thematic and statistical analysis of the textual data, it is found that management's knowledge of social and relational knowledge, especially those of ageing workers, seems to be scarce, thus resulting in ageing workers being perceived as surpassed by technological and scientific progress. A model relevant to the evaluation of company practices related to inter-generational aspects of KM should include several dimensions. |
