A Comprehensive Analytical Case Study on Plisse Fashion Design L.L.C

Abstract

Knowledge management is a fundamental process and an imperative framework on which organizations achieve competitive advantages. Companies realize that to benefit from the wide range of knowledge available, they must find ways of managing organizational knowledge. However, how companies manage their knowledge is dependent on the activities performed within the organization. Proper planning and implementation of a knowledge management tool allow the company to achieve its objectives while increasing the profit margin. This report provides an analysis of knowledge management in the Plisse Fashion Design Company. The study utilizes interviews as its primary data collection approach. In addition, by carefully examining the accomplished and most distinctive work as well as closely analyzing Plisse's particular case and current knowledge management practices, the study produces various potential areas of improvements. The recommended areas come from the literature review and analyses of case studies. The significant areas of knowledge management are planning and workflow management. Organizations are advised to establish plans and useful tools to exploit the existing knowledge in their departments fully. Furthermore, Plisse should involve its employees and consider the cultural implications of the implementation of knowledge management to ensure it leads to the anticipated results.Keywords Knowledge management (KM) Á Knowledge sharing (KS) Á Knowledge transfer (KT) Á Knowledge management tools Á
