Rola innowacji w procesie zarządzania wiedzą w przedsiębiorstwach sektora MSP, na przykładzie systemu ERP

One of the fundamental pillars of the system of the Knowledge-based Economy is knowledge management at the level of an individual organization [6]. In businesses, knowledge is perceived as a strategic resource determining a particular enterprise's competitive advantage. Conducted research aims at presenting the interdependence between the implementation of innovation and the building of a knowledge management process in the SME sector. If a project concerning the implementation of an ERP information system is regarded as an innovation at the level of an organization (a company), it can be assumed that the implementation of an innovation in an enterprise belonging lo the SME sector allows the development of a knowledge management process in its organizational structure. The essence of the concept of knowledge management process development in an enterprise representing the SME sector is the interdependence between the skills and competences of its employees with respect to the acquisition of knowledge from an ERP system and the enterprise's environment. Knowledge acquired from an ERP system should be the basis for the enterprise's competitive advantage in the market.
