The Impact of Knowledge Flow On Performance
In endeavouring to look at knowledge management and its adoption in the wine industry I have chosen to appraise the wine industry funded corporate representative, the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation (AWBC) and its role in wine industry specific knowledge development.
I have approached this case study in a way to best emphasise the positive impact of knowledge management and the flow of information on industry performance as a whole rather than look at one particular organisation within the wine industry. I have done this because of the financial segmentation that exists within the wine industry which can affect internal resources available to manage knowledge effectively.
The AWBC is basically a knowledge intensive business service specifically wine industry related, and is an organisation that has emerged to help other wine businesses deal with problems for which external sources of knowledge are required.
