Evaluating Organization External Knowledge Acquisition

Knowledge can be acquired from organization inside and exterior. The knowledge inside organization is limited and the organization external knowledge is important to advance organization competition ability. Knowledge acquisition out of organization plays an extremely important role in organization knowledge management. This study proposed a knowledge acquisition evaluating method based on knowledge scenario. Scenario tree is defined and is used to describe the scenario of origination external knowledge. Scenario tree’s dimensions and items are confirmed and their fuzzy weight is afforded. State interval of evaluating method is plot out. Evaluating matrix is proposed for computing the feasibility of organization external knowledge acquisition. The evaluating method is a recursion process among layers. A case is offered to demonstrate the availability of this approach in knowledge acquisition form organization exterior.
