Abstract

In order to acquire more business opportunities, by adapting to new and changing market conditions, organizations face many strategic and operational challenges; one of them is related to identification and management of their competencies. Broadly speaking, competency management is the way in which organizations coordinate and manage the competencies of the corporation, groups, and individuals. It has the primary objective to identify and continuously maintain competencies, according to the objectives of the corporation. A competency is a way to put into the practice some knowledge, know-how, and also attitudes, inside a specific context. Identification of competencies has been well recognized as a key element for the achievement of company goals, complimenting core business processes, customer relationships, and financial issues; integration of all these elements will reflect as an increase in company’s competitiveness (Hamel & Prahalad, 1994; Norton & Kaplan, 1996).
