IMPACT ON PROCESSES
- KM represent the basic operations of knowledge, enablers provide the infrastructure
necessary for PB to increase the efficiency of knowledge processes. Knowledge
Management can include activities such as creation, sharing, storage, and usage for all
departments for each subsidiary under PB such as marketing, manufacturing,
accounting, engineering and human resources. These impacts can be seen along 3
(three) major dimensions as follows:
1) Impact on process effectiveness
Select and performing the most suitable processes and making the best
decision
Effectiveness is described as the capability of producing a specific, desired
effect, or in other words “getting the right things done” (Druker, 2004).
Improving process effectiveness supports company performance simply by
ensuring that each process delivers the results that it needs to.
Standardization also enhances process effectiveness by ensuring that
different parts of the organization are doing the same things in the same
way. It can smooth transitions between different systems and provide
better control over process and data quality.
2) Impact on process efficiency

Innovation is the process that connects new ideas to new processes and
products (Aboelmaged, 2012) and requires organizations to go beyond
learning from repetition, defect correction, and a desire for reducing
process variation.
Innovation performance can be positively impacted by process
improvement and process design. KM has been found to enable frequent
improved brainstorming, thus enhancing process innovation. KM can
enable organizations by better exploitation of new ideas. “The power of
intellectual capital is the ability to breed ideas that ignite value”
IMPACT ON PRODUCTS
- The important of knowledge management on product is gaining or sustaining product
success on market. If managed effectively, knowledge can be used to reduce NPI
(New Product Introduction) project time, improve quality and increase customer
satisfaction (Sixotte & Langley, 2000). Impact on product can be as follows:
1) Impact on value added products
Value-added products are two of the best strategies PB can employ to
improve net profitability. Value-added products can open new markets, and
extend the marketing. KM processes can help organizations offer new
products or improved products that provide a significant additional value
as compared with earlier products
2) Impact on knowledge based products
KM can have a significant impact on products that are knowledge based.
Example as consulting and software development.
Consultants can quickly access and combine the best available knowledge
and bid on proposals that would otherwise be too costly or too time –
consuming to put together. PB can place solutions to software problems of
customer in a shareable knowledge base. Let customers download software
patches based on their answer to an automated ‘wizard ‘ system that
prompts customer with a series of questions aimed at diagnosing the
customer needs.

SECI MODEL
The SECI model is a well-known conceptual model that was first proposed by Nonaka
(1991 and expanded by Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995). It describes how explicit and tacit
knowledge is generated, transferred, and recreated in organizations. While it was first
proposed within the context of business organizations, the model can easily be applied to
education, as explored by Lin, Lin, and Huang (2008) and Yeh, Huang, and Yeh (2011). We
can refer as the SECI Knowledge conversion Model as shown as below:

CONCLUSION
KM can have impact on the organization performance and the impacts can be people,
processes and product. KM can have impacts on people based on employee learning,
employee adaptability and employee job satisfaction. Impacts on processes can be
effectiveness, efficiency and innovation. KM impacts on product also can be based on value
added product and knowledge based products.
SECI model in Nonaka’s theory of organizational knowledge creation has been examined
by PB in their organization. As per Ikujiro Nonaka there are four types of knowledge
creating process. First, socialisation - This process focuses on tacit to tacit. Tacit knowledge
goes beyond the boundary and new knowledge is created by using the process of interactions,
observing, discussing, analyzing, spending time together or living in same environment.
Second, externalisation - This process focuses on tacit to explicit. It helps in creating new
knowledge as tacit knowledge comes out of its boundary and became collective group
knowledge. Third, combination - is a process where knowledge transforms from explicit to
explicit knowledge. The explicit knowledge such as text, sound, video formats, or oral stories
can facilitate the internalization process.
