Abstract: Currently, knowledge represents the basic source of corporate strategic advantage. Strong competition in the field of new technologies and their implementation, while creating new generations of both products and services, imposes on companies their ongoing intellectual efforts. The major part of company employees have to participate in the processes of knowledge recognition, acquisition, absorption, accumulation, transfer and commercial implementation. It has become the basic principle in personnel management to pay employees for thinking and not for just time spent on company premises
The presented original model of the enterprise oriented to knowledge includes basic directives of such model creation. These directives correspond to changes occurring in mature enterprises. The company — which in this publication has been called “KiPMP” — searches for a strategic advantage in new factors coming from knowledge, competencies, long-life education and organizational processes of learning. A described company is the confirmation of the direction of changes included in the model. In the article the author presents his own conception of enterprise’s management based on the model of a company thoroughly oriented to knowledge. The aim of the article is to appoint basic directives on changes ensuring the evolution in the direction of a modern enterprise.
In the author’s opinion the company “KiPMP” shows changes occurring in mature enterprises searching a competitive advantage in new conditions which are connected with permanent education, high competencies and
the organizational processes of knowledge.
Key words: model, organization, oriented to knowledge
