Abstract

Sustainable entrepreneurship leading to competitiveness of a company demands implementation of the activities which are focused on creating, transferring and using knowledge for increasing competitiveness by all organizations. It demands the implementation of procedures connected with knowledge management in companies. One of the processes of knowledge management is localization of internal and external sources of knowledge. The goal of this paper is to present the issues related to the identification and accordingly exploitation of internal and external sources of knowledge in both theoretical and practical aspects. In the first part of this article the main internal and external knowledge sources are described as well as the ways of their visualization. The article also presents the results of research which shows what sources of knowledge are the most and least used by workers in organizations. The practical recommendations related to use of knowledge sources are also presented in the article. The procedure for identifying and acquiring knowledge sources which are useful to the organization and its employees is also described. The final part of the article includes conclusiona arising from theoretical considerations and results of conducted research.
