Abstract

Using a Meta-Knowledge Management approach developed at our organization, this paper describes the process of parallel implementation of Knowledge Management at five companies of the Upper Austrian Automotive Cluster. It describes how the partners were identified, which criteria formed the basis for selection and how the consortium was finally established. Furthermore it presents a roadmap for co-operative implementation of Knowledge Management including methods and tools – derived from a Knowledge Management viewpoint – for enabling and fastening knowledge transfer within the consortium. It further justifies the need for research in this area Finally we are discussing the advantages and disadvantages of this approach and deliver some ideas for further necessary research concerning this topic.
