Summary
This study introduces a knowledge-value chain framework to improve knowledge management and application in public health organizations, addressing common knowledge translation challenges.
Area of Science:
- Public health
- Knowledge management
- Organizational science
Background:
- Knowledge translation is crucial for public health practice.
- Existing challenges hinder effective knowledge management and application in public health organizations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an integrated conceptual model for knowledge management and application in public health.
- To develop a knowledge-value chain framework addressing identified problems in knowledge translation.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of knowledge management principles.
- Development of a non-linear knowledge-value chain framework.
- Identification of five key dyadic capabilities for managing knowledge.
Main Results:
- The proposed knowledge-value chain framework offers an integrated model for public health organizations.
- The framework emphasizes a non-linear approach to knowledge management.
- Key capabilities include mapping/acquisition, creation/destruction, integration/sharing, replication/protection, and performance/innovation.
Conclusions:
- The knowledge-value chain framework provides a structured approach to enhance knowledge management and application.
- This model can help public health organizations overcome knowledge translation barriers.
- Effective management of dyadic capabilities is essential for organizational performance and innovation.
