Three levels of competitiveness affect the success of business enterprises in a globally competitive environment: the competitiveness of the company, the competitiveness of the industry in which the company operates and the competitiveness of the country where the business is located. This study analyses the competitiveness of the automotive industry in association with the national competitiveness perspective using a methodology based on Bayesian Causal Networks. First, we structure the competitiveness problem of the automotive industry through a synthesis of expert knowledge in the light of the World Economic Forum's competitiveness indicators. Second, we model the relationships among the variables identified in the problem structuring stage and analyse these relationships using a Bayesian Causal Network. Third, we develop policy suggestions under various scenarios to enhance the national competitive advantages of the automotive industry. We present an analysis of the Turkish automotive industry as a case study. It is possible to generalise the policy suggestions developed for the case of Turkish automotive industry to the automotive industries in other developing countries where country and industry competitiveness levels are similar to those of Turkey.

“…More stable results are offered by the studies that focus on the impact of specific knowledge management mechanisms on organizational performance (Gold et al 2001; Lee and Choi 2003;Liu et al 2004;Chuang 2004). The characteristics of specific knowledge management infrastructure (i.e., technology, structure and culture) or processes (i.e., acquisition, socialization, combination, externalization, etc.)…”

According to recent literature, effective knowledge management should be coherent and based on the firm's strategy. Prior empirical research, in contrast, tries to evaluate the impact of knowledge management initiatives directly on performance but finds inconsistent results and not allows the understanding of knowledge management contribution to competitive advantage generation. In this study we aim to investigate the impact of knowledge management and strategy configuration coherence on SMEs innovation and organizational performance through a quantitative analysis carried out on a sample of 60 manufacturing SMEs in northeast Italy. Our findings reveal that a significant coherence exists between knowledge management and strategy configurations. Most of the SMEs with a prospector and defender strategy adopt, in turn, an aggressive and conservative knowledge management. Moreover, we find that such coherence has a significant impact on the overall performance. This is particularly interesting since it suggests that the inconsistency in the results of prior studies on the impact of knowledge management on performance (Kalling in J Knowl Manag 7(3):67-81; 2003) may be due to the lack of consideration of knowledge management and strategy configuration coherence.

“…Freeze and divided knowledge management capability divided into four types, namely, professional ability, experience learning, policies and procedures, as well as data and knowledge files. Liu et al (2004) argued that knowledge management capability was not only all-encompassing information and knowledge, but also was a tool for maintaining information that helped improve work efficiency. In accordance with the above discussions, an organization's effective implementation of knowledge management should include knowledge management capability.…”
