Abstract

Knowledge management is an essential key in order to obtain competitive advantages in organizations. In this scenario, an interesting study about the first global power, China, is presented. The paper analyzes how Chinese enterprises manage their knowledge using variables linked to knowledge sharing and knowledge creation. Data were extracted by World Bank between December 2011 and February 2013, and the analysis has two parts. First the percentage of innovative enterprises within China is identified and then, a descriptive analysis about the situation of Chinese innovative firms is realized. In addition ANOVA technique is used. Results show that almost the half of Chinese enterprises (around 47 per cent) is considered as innovative, and these innovative firms make decisions focused on active measures related to knowledge management. Then they realize an active used of new technologies in order to communicate with people related to the organization (sharing knowledge) and also to develop new ideas within the organization (creation knowledge). Chinese Government could use our paper in order to know how their enterprises manage their knowledge and, accordingly, they could motivate non-innovative enterprises to incorporate actively knowledge management process.
