Introduction
On August 5, 2011, Elliot
(2011) reported that the
most serious global
economic crisis has hit the

lowest grade since the
Great Depression. Again,
the crisis was triggered by
the newly downgraded US
debt status (Elliot, 2011).
Previously in May 2009, the

world economy was also in
a deep recession, which
started with the financial
crisis in the United States
(Boston Consulting Group,
2009; Elliot, 2011). This

crisis occurred through a
combination of low interest
rate policy, deregulation of
non-bank financial
institutions and the
massive growth of the

unregulated derivatives
markets (Boston Consulting
Group, 2009). During these
tumultuous times, survival
of financial companies
becomes critical.

Organizations across the
world including IDB have to
be more innovative either
in cutting cost of
operations, reengineering
the production processes

and inventing new
products or services to stay
relevant in the market.
Knowledge has been
identified as an important
element which is critical for

organizations to be
innovative (Ho, 2007).
Nevertheless, the challenge
for organizations to stay
competitive is becoming

these days due to the
continuous global economic
crisis. Adopting and
executing the right strategy
is becoming more

imminent (Morgan, Levitt
and Malek, 2007).
Furthermore, organizations
are forced to think ‘outside
of the box’ in order to
position themselves

strategically in the market.
The challenge for
organizations to stay
competitive is becoming
more and more difficult

current economic crisis.
Adopting and executing the
right strategy is becoming
more imminent (Morgan,
Levitt and Malek, 2007).

organizations to be out of
business (Andrew and
Sirkin, 2006). To prepare
for the inevitable battle,
organizations are
leveraging on the

knowledge that they inherit
and acquire from outside to
be as innovative as possible
in providing solutions.
Knowledge and innovation
are key intangible assets

which are priceless in this
world of borderless
economy (Uhlaner, van Stel,
Maijaard and Folkeringa,
2007).

As awareness of capturing
tacit and explicit
knowledge is becoming
increasingly essential
among business
communities these days,

the need to conceptualize
the scope, properties and
remit of knowledge
management (KM) has
become apparent.
Strategically, organizations

The theory of economic

Innovation stands out as

Even though explicit

strongly in the research and
development (R&D)
processes as there is a rich
exchange of tacit
knowledge taking place,
which IDB should heed to.

Moreover, KM provides the
tools, processes and
platforms to ensure
knowledge availability and

through structuring of the

knowledge base. KM can
also ensure that explicit
knowledge, which can be
used as an input to the
innovation process, is
gathered internally and

externally. Finally, KM also
provides the means of
ensuring the leverage of
knowledge and to
determine the gaps in the
explicit knowledge base

that IDB could potentially
impact IDB’s innovation
programs.
Furthermore, in managing
innovation, KM plays an

important role that enables
collaboration. Collaboration
requires suppliers,

an important role in the
transfer of tacit knowledge
and building collective
know-how (Pyka, 2002)
through online
collaboration forums such

which are readily available
at IDB. These collaboration

valuable because they

Gathering tacit knowledge
from collaboration partners
could potentially reduce
risk and cost in innovation

by ensuring a first-time-
right approach, thus
shortening development
cycles and ensuring
effective innovation.

without accurate

utilizing knowledge as

Doubtlessly, KM provides
an environment for
knowledge creation,

also provides search
facilities and tools to enable
IDB staff to search for the
knowledge required in the
innovation process.

In KM initiatives, platforms,
tools and processes to
ensure integration of IDB’s
knowledge base can be
established. Through KM
structures such as

taxonomies, KM can ensure
the integration of the
corporate knowledge base.
As a result, the staff would
have an integrated view of
what knowledge is

available, where it can be
accessed, and gaps in the
knowledge base. This is
extremely important in the
innovation process for two
reasons:

• to ensure that knowledge
as a resource is utilized

• at the same time to
ensure that knowledge is
not recreated in the
innovation process.

Due to the knowledge-
driven culture which is
embedded in KM, IDB’s
innovations can be
incubated. Knowledge
sharing is enhanced by a

culture where the role of
knowledge, KM, innovation
and creative thinking is
encouraged. KM programs
usually have a strong
knowledge culture element

through which IDB’s
organizational culture of
knowledge generation and

greater attention. Because
of the culture within KM

and innovation, creativity
and learning through

and valued.

Furthermore, IDB
employees are able to

accessibility, sharing and a
smooth workflow.
Increasing the staff’s skills
would eventually provide
better chances for IDB to
have quality innovations.

The flow of knowledge

use in their day-to-day
activities. Therefore, IDB’s
staff will have a wider
frame of reference of the
context in which they work
and will therefore be able

to innovate more

KM assists in identifying

is, it provides

including IDB. The

provides an overview of

With IDB in mind, it is
