| Tiivistelmä: | This paper deals with the importance of linking organizational knowledge assets into corporate strategy, taking a knowledge-based view of firms. Adopted is the intellectual capital (IC) framework distinguishing three IC components: human, structural and relational capital. As to the business strategy, adopted is Miles and Snow's (here as: M&S.) model identifying three strategic types of successful organizations: Defenders, Analysers and Prospectors. Examined are the ways in which the three strategic types differ in weighting the single components of their IC. The link btw. knowledge asset management and strategy is explored through three case studies in Italian small and medium companies (SMEs) from the food sector. It is argued that firms of different M&S. strategic types have different mix of IC components. |
