Abstract:

 

Knowledge assets represent the fount of an organization’s competences and capabilities that are
 deemed essential for its growth, competitive advantage and human development. The aim of this
 research is to define, within the context of Turkish firms in the both the manufacturing and
 services industries, what constitutes a knowledge asset, and to identify any perceived links and
 influence between knowledge assets and strategic management. To achieve this, a survey based on
 the questionnaire developed by Paul James (2005) was conducted. The research revealed
 important insights regarding the perception and mindset of Turkish managers. The most important
 knowledge assets were determined as experienced people, ability to learn, know-how, information
 technology, human skills, social relations and networks, on-line journals and databases,
 intellectual property rights, registered designs, web content, copyrights, organizational
 procedures. However, regression analysis found that only experienced people, learning ability,
 know-how, information technology and human skills as knowledge assets have significant
 relationship and effect on organizational strategy development.
