And thank you very much for taking the time to join us today, Ed

Ed Slott. I am happy to be here

Bershok Beth: I think this is the first time the two, instead of Jim Roth IRA, his is the IRA. I think it’s the first time both of you have been together in a forum like this, right?

Jim Lange. Yes it is true

Ed Slott. It must be like a presidential debate or something

Jim Lange. I do not want the debate, but let me add a few words of introduction

Beth Bershok: A summit like

Ed Slott: A summit of the IRA

Jim Lange: Read Ed Slott is really essential information. I mean, I read Natalie Choate, Bob Keebler, Seymour Goldberg, Bruce Steinberg, Steve Leimberg Gary Lesser, others. But Ed is probably more popular than any of them and he, more than anyone else, weaves great stories, humor and relationships in the critical lessons and I think it’s great. The new package to be rich for life irahelp.com, his site is an excellent resource. But Ed, returning to their stories, because I think it’s a wonderful way to learn and to and history as well to remember, especially, going back six years, when I read the retirement saving time bomb. Before I ask you to recall this story, I will mention that Pittsburgh is a city of great baseball . In fact, if we lose more than half of our games this season we will set a new record for most consecutive losses by a major sports team ever.

Bershok Beth: I much like that, actually, I think that will happen

Ed Slott: I have no sympathy for you, I’m a fan of the Mets and may have lost many games because they no have not always existed, but how much better they lose

Bershok Beth: This dramatic

Jim Lange: Well, I we’ll enter that into a reality minute. However, in Pittsburgh, nearly 50 years, Bill Mazeroski homered in the ninth inning to win the World Series since the New York Yankees favorite, but, be remembered that home run, but what most people do remember is he was just a ball player and 0260 was really a great gardener and here is my question for you, Ed, because the story just sticks in my mind so clearly. Could you talk about Bill Buckner and lessons that our listeners can make Bill Buckner?

Ed Slott: Well, Bill Buckner, for baseball fans, is infamous, you know, the failure at the critical moment. But without going through all statistics, it turns out he was one of the greatest players to ever play baseball. But when he was late in the game and that’s why I used the analogy of the planning your retirement savings, which is what we keep that matters, the result at the end of the game is not the score at half time, if not you do in baseball entering the seventh round or eighth – is the way to end the game. So where Bill Mazeroski was even remotely likely, the player was Bill Buckner, Bill Mazeroski is in the Hall of Fame because at the end of the game came with the great success and, as you all know, in Pittsburgh, but I must say, many people across the country when he uses the story of Bill Mazeroski do not know that he is the only one who has never played a game World Series winners will be the seventh homerun. When I say all countries, people, real baseball fans say Oh, no, this is not true. Joe Carter did. Joe Carter is not just a little anecdotes from baseball, he was in the sixth Thurs Bill Mazeroski is still the only one to lose the World Series in the seventh game. So poor Bill Buckner had a fantastic race, over 2000 visits. In fact, There were over 500 visits to Joe DiMaggio. Happier people like Mickey Mantle and Ernie Banks and securities more and Fielding won, won the batting of the National League. But when it counts, and the error against the series “Put the world in 86, you know almost ran Boston. In fact last year for the first time brought in more than 20 years to throw the first pitch and I guess I forgave him because they won the World Series since. Bill Buckner will probably never be in the Hall of Fame, even though he had a career as a Hall of Fame. We look at the statistics of the population, with more than 70 visits % of the players already in the Hall of Fame.

Bershok Beth: Actually this is the first time I heard of Bill Bucker – here in this program.

Ed Slott: The point is that there was a great race, and similar retirement savings. You could have a great career, economics, construction and investment and have more and more. But if you hit or drop the ball like Bill Buckner was at the end of the game, distribution strategies, planning, your family will remember the same of you who remember Bill Buckner – he dropped the ball when it had exploded, even though 30 years ago has a right to everything and this is the big problem with retirement planning. People think of what I call the first half of the game from the accumulation of money, and you know that you do not really have much control over half of the match. One might think that investment, but not more, as we have seen, forces the more work you can not control, like Wall Street and all that. But the only thing you can control is to put money and hope for the best. Even with an investment advisor of his great knowledge that does not really have much control over how it grows, but can be applied and you can control the game server, which for me is the way to win the game, that’s what I call half to win the game in my new book to be rich for life. You can control because it is tax and that’s what people have to focus on now, you can control. You can not control the stock market, greed, fraud and all that. But you can control the mining tax code and make tax planning for the big end of the game when necessary and when Bill Mazeroski run success at home.

Bershok Beth: Well, I think many people are worried about it. I must interject here with this because I saw in your last newsletter Ed has a slogan for the economy of Today I love. You call this Yo-Yo économie.

Ed Slott: Yes, we are in a saving of Yo-Yo I call it. means’re AYO-YO on your own. Never before have people felt so helpless, even with financial advisors who now realize they were actually sellers, brokers selling stocks and bonds. I think Warren Buffet said it best. There had a saying: When the tide goes out, you’ll quickly discover that it’s a swimsuit. And that’s what is happening now, we see the curtain. Many of these people who call themselves financial wizards or gurus, brokers and banks and many of them really knew what they were doing. They sell what their company told them to sell. Have you lost your money, which has obligations that have to stop and it is one of the things I talk about in my book. How to find competent advisors, who are actually a real financial tax planning, distribution planning, where the score matters at the end of the match. Things you can control it.

Beth Bershok You know, knowing they would be today, Ed, we had a few listeners who sent us questions and we will reach a minute, but I know there was something that Jim wanted to ask first.

Jim Lange: Well, I was actually attending a professional seminar and met a guy named Bill Nelson, who sang his praise

Ed Slott. Ah, yes, Bill

Jim Lange: And he said the secret of One of the most important things in the planning of the IRA was to save time bomb retired and gave me the page, which I still have the old edition of the previous edition, it is marked and I have a new problem as well. But I use the old edition, because again highlights and markings, etc. If you remember, was not the case of Ralph and Sadie had 000,000 in an IRA and had a daughter named Ruby 40 years and had made some recommendations for Ralph and Sadie and I was wondering if you could tell our listeners what they would recommend Ralph and Sadie have 000,000 in an IRA and a girl named Ruby 40 years.

Ed Slott: Actually it’s funny you mention that because I brought this story and put on my new public television special stay rich for life – same name as the book and I understand what you and he said he worked in Pittsburgh.

Beth Bershok:. Yes, WQED

Ed Slott: So, in the second act of this show to tell this story, which may have changed its name. I do not think I used the names. But the point I was trying to do it again, fiscal management, planning, conduct, taking advantage of what I call gold nuggets in the tax code, most people do not. Most people will lose their retirement savings. When I say to save for retirement, I mean your 401 (k), 403 (b) its business plan, your IRA, because the money has not yet been taxed. So now you have to do something to make a proactive planning in advance, before, which I think is a huge tax increase to come. Look at the economy, after the rescue emergency – Who will save the United States? This will be the same people who did the right thing – money put into the 401 (k) and the IRA, but the whole world to this type of schedule that I just mentioned and called him with greater benefits in the tax code, and if you know that I do not sell insurance, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities, but I think in the mobilization of the tax code – I am a tax consultant. The reason I said is that the biggest advantage right now is that life insurance, the tax exemption for life insurance. The reason I said that because when I tell people to think that life insurance should be sold or any thing, I’m not! I tell you to use it to leverage your money when you can use the tax code to pass tax money tax-free, which is a good deal. I would do it every day.

Bershok Beth: You know actually, we’ll come back in a second. We have to take a short break, it is time for money Lange: Where Smart Money Talks. Jim Lange and our very special Ed Slott guest today. The money time Lange. Where Smart Money Talks

Beth Bershok: Time Lange Money: Where Smart Money Talks. Bershok Beth and I have two, we have a great guest today, Ed Slott, an IRA expert in American and Jim Lange, of course. We were in the middle of a story that Jim Ed spoke and whether to continue with the idea of ​​Ed there. ” br />
Jim Lange: Well, we spoke with Ralph and Sadie, 000 000 in an IRA and a girl named Ruby and 40 years, Ed was mentioned a little about some of the benefits of the tax code because that it is very concerned about future taxes and talking about life insurance.

Ed Slott: I’m too worried about the future tax! I think we’re all going to hit many more taxes, so we must do something to advance our money now tax-free accounts and the story was about a spouse is usually best to get the money free and clear – money completely free of taxes. In other words, nothing better than a life insurance policy. There are no required distributions and the children and grandchildren are generally better off with the IRA, because you can stretch or extend the lifetime distribution . So that was the point of the story instead of what many might think, well, I want my wife or husband to the IRA, you better have life insurance that will never be imposed – the or state tax revenue, and leave the IRA to their children tax-free goods, which can be done now even more since the tax exemption on capital increased to, 500,000. This opens up many more money if you have the quantity. You know, the less you have, the more it is important to protect what you have, even if you have a lot more than you can give, or should I say out of 500,000, 500,000 of IRA for children and grandchildren and tax free goods.

Jim Lange: Ed, let me ask you this question. So basically you’re saying that if the husband is the one , 000,000 in the IRA, you say to consider life insurance for the husband.

Ed Slott: Well, in the example he says that the husband had one, and 000,000 IRA usually when someone comes, probably the same with their customers, if someone came up with this scenario, the woman is the beneficiary, because that’s what everyone said in the IRA. I say that Change the daughter of the beneficiary, but then the woman will say, “Well, what do I live?” and this is where life insurance comes into play, but usually they end up doing is changing the beneficiary IRA back to a woman anyway, but the addition of the daughter as contingent beneficiary in this way the woman is in complete control. What do women really want, not so much of the IRA, which means financial security. She looks the IRA as financial security, but is not really a secure future when you do not know how that will be taxed when you need it most. When she reached her hand when she is more vulnerable and need more, taxes can eat up 50% to 60% thereof, depending on future tax rates and rates of inheritance tax. It is best that life insurance is a sure thing – you have free and clear and you can also get the IRA, if you want, but the name of the girl contingent that has the ability to refuse the inheritance, a Another advantage in the tax code, called Legal, where he could go back to the girl after the death anyway. I know it was a /> Ed Slott: That’s why I’ll try to get this story down. But the point is to see the leverage of money life insurance liabilities without. Even bother to take money from your IRA now, pay the lowest tax rate -. We are at very low rates now and take advantage of this life insurance

Jim Lange: Ed, by the way, you and I are largely on the same page many areas. I am a big fan of the resignation as you know, Lange plan beneficiaries cascade is essentially a succession plan established with exceptions, so I’m a little more comfortable naming the surviving spouse first and leave the decision of who gets what ..

Ed Slott: Yes, that’s what I wanted to do, which can have both. It is better with life insurance, as opposed to an IRA. She has no hope of life for both the IRA and life insurance eliminates the uncertainty of what future tax rates can be.

Beth Bershok: Basically the idea behind this is to save taxes, to save taxes at the end of y. ..

Ed Slott: For me, financial security is to get money free of taxes. The last thing you need in retirement is at hand when you need it most and the government 70% of it is the time you need to keep 100% of it.

Bershok Beth: Our client is Ed Slott and you’re ready for a question that was launched from a listener

Ed Slott. I am ready

Bershok Beth: Oh Jim said here is another question. We’ll let Jim do his first question, then move on to other issues.

Jim Lange: Ed well, I was also an advocate of combining IRA and life insurance and pension plans and have been for over 20 years. One of the things I do in my practice, which may be a little different and I thought I would ask for comments. I often was the second to die policies. In fact, I have the numbers and how it works better and I am the first to admit it. When running a number that works best for people in terms of total wealth for the whole family to do what you suggest, to ensure that the life of the husband, is that basically, women and Then the IRA have children and grandchildren. What I did and maybe think of it as conservative, his is more conservative, the mine may be a little different, because it could be a premium reduction is often used second to die or of life and survival will not pay the first death, but the second death, and they tend to use security policies so that there is no doubt if it’s a life situation that depends on investment results, etc., I wonder if you could comment on that, I know that’s not how you do it.

Ed Slott: I am all ways, in fact, depends on what is best for the customer. It depends on how much money might be needed in the first death. The problem with my situation, sometimes you never know who will die first as well. In the second death, of course, if you do not need the money, if they have enough other assets to live without life insurance, then, of course, the second to die, as it spreads <-! NextPage -> the risk of two lives if it depends on each case. But when there is a case in which you are concerned about the financial security of your spouse if the IRA owner, you know that you have a large IRA and has nothing to say, so I want it get some money is tax free as long as possible in the first death.

Jim Lange: I think it sounds good. So if you are interested in which both partners could be considered a traditional policy of the owner of the IRA and there is more than enough of both to the second to die. Sometimes I think that there is a certain budget and the gifts you want to allow some money for children, gifts as old newspapers, money for 529 plans and then a bit of money life insurance as well.

Ed Slott: If both have enough to live, then it is probably more of an advantage of one second to die policy. If neither spouse wonders if there will be money when the first dies.

Beth Bershok: Ed Slott, our guest today, U. S. experts of the IRA and Jim Lange Lange Time Money: Where Smart Money Talks. We have a few questions from listeners and we’ll be back with you in a minute. Money time Lange. Where Smart Money Talks

Beth Bershok: Speaking of money smarter, Lange Money Hour: Where Smart Money Talks. Jim Lange and a great guest today, U. S. IRA expert Ed Slott, author, and is a PBS television special called to be rich for life and if you want to check all your data is irahelp.com. The website of Ed, thank you irahelp.com and again, Ed, for joining us today.

Ed Slott. No problem, glad to be here

Bershok Beth: We have many questions listeners e-mail us knowing they were going to be on the show and I found a theme in these e- mails. Everyone seems to be completely confused about the suspension of RMD for 2009 and I guess, Ed, who is also using this as a strategy. I know that Jim was using it as a strategy to convert to Roth IRA. But here’s the question, and this comes from a retired dentist from Indiana. Your question is, is to move from distribution 2009, but you want to convert your IRA to a Roth IRA, and want to know if you miss the distribution is still allowed to do?

Ed Slott: Yes, provided it qualifies. In 2009, their income can not exceed 0000 which is the only restriction. However, a better strategy I use for some clients who are willing to do, but not the client is 70 years old who are normally required distribution. Now, not having to take them. Now on the surface, which looks like a good thing, but I say it is better to get money when you know what the tax rates are now, they are very very low – almost the lowest they were in the lives of most people. Therefore, it is best to take the money anyway, and if their income does not exceed 0000. Let’s say you convert to a Roth, you are eligible to convert to a Roth must be converted. Would not normally have the opportunity to convert to a Roth, because when you take the necessary distributions, distributions are not eligible to become a Roth, but now this year alone, since the distributions are truly voluntary and not mandatory , which can be converted to a Roth. Therefore, it is a real window of opportunity to convert to a Roth now.

Bershok Beth: Well, Jim, you want to play in all this? Because Jim has used this as a strategy
Jim Lange: Well, I agree with you 100% and why I am a big fan of Roth IRA conversions in 2009 for those who qualify, that will be the year lower taxes and lower tax bracket is likely to ever be in. So, let’s say 70 years or more, you have money in an IRA and used to say you have social security, pensions, interest, dividends – what you have. Normally, the minimum required distribution from an IRA will grow into a higher tax bracket. So if you had to do a Roth IRA conversion you would have to pay tax at the higher rate. Now you do not have to take a required minimum distribution, the Roth IRA can be cheaper than they ever will. I used to say to the conversion Roth IRA after retirement, but before the minimum distribution requirements when you are in a lower tax bracket. 2009 is now a very special year because we can become the lowest tax rate that can never be

Ed Slott: Yes, I agree with that. I do not think people think, you know there are many complaints about taxes all the time, but most people do not realize how much we really now. In my book, to be rich for life, if you are interested you can get it on my site irahelp.com. It’s my site, you can even ask questions, you can write questions if you listen now, you can write the questions directly on the main page of the website and will be answered by real estate experts. And if you go down, you will see an image of stay rich for life – the book we are talking about and if you click there will only be entitled to Amazon.com and is probably the best price for it. But the price you get it when it will be useful if you read it. Page 7 of this book, I give you a history of tax rates.

Jim Lange: It’s the page I’m currently

Bershok Beth: It is, it is literally there

Ed Slott.: It’s really something telling when you see the rates in the 70, 80 and 90. If you said that people now people now believe that tax rates are higher! Back in the year, I just want to isolate the baby boom years which were 1946 to 1964. The federal tax rate, which is the marginal rate for the richest of care, more than 90%, 9 0 if they are now to give his radio. You said 90? How can it be? What remains for me? Nothing! More than 90% each year of baby boomers, with the exception of 64 last year when he was only a meager 77%. Now the point I want to say is that these years are the years when baby boomers were born. They do not need a lot of people. Now they are on the other side of the fence in the collection. The baby boom first just start collecting Social Security last year 2008. They’ll be on top of all our economic and fiscal bailouts. The 80 million baby boomers will need strong government in one way or another, there will be a kind of dependence that will increase pressure on tax rates increase. So that’s my point, tax rates will increase and it is now time to act. Now is the time to do these Roth IRA, make money, even if it is not necessary. Influence of life insurance and get money from the tax collector now. I call it the purchase sales tax, because that’s what they are today.

Bershok Beth: I think it should be noted the change in the tax law of 2010, while speaking of Roth.

The curse of natural resources: Case Studies Useful Grade

Botswana has 40% of GDP from diamonds, is landlocked and has a mainly tropical climate,. all factors that could lead to the destination sensitive to the resource curse of Botswana, however, actually took place the highest growth rate per capita in the world for the past 35 years (Acemoglu et al, 2002). Acemoglu et al. suggest that the economic success reflects the strength of institutions in countries that have protected the property rights of investors, provided political stability, limited to the elite in a strong political, and ensured the participation of a broad policy areas the company. Acemoglu et al. argue that the strength of institutions in Botswana can be explained with reference to the country’s history. Botswana had traditional tribal institutions encourage broad participation and the restriction of the elite, the peripheral nature of Botswana in the British Empire made the tribal structures were not removed entirely by colonial structures.

You can compare Botswana, a country with traditional institutions capable of overcoming the resource curse, with Somalia, where traditional institutions are not sufficient to maintain political stability (Acemoglu et al. 2002). Once again, the British colonial rule had a limited effect on the structure of Somali society. Although its economy is dominated by agriculture and is not subject to the same resource curse that Botswana illustrates the effect of having an economy with weak institutions, we can assume that the situation in Somalia would be even worse if has an abundance of natural resources. Industry of Somalia, based on the processing of agricultural products, has largely been looted and sold as scrap metal, has no effective national government, and conflicts are common (CIA Factbook). Clapham (1986) wrote that Somali society was traditionally nomadic intense conflict over resources. These pre-existing tribal bases of Somali society to provide an adequate basis for the government in resource allocation can be done without ethnic and cultural conflicts.

Collier (2007), using Nigeria as an example of the benefits of control centers and balance in the distribution of resource rents. Nigeria is perhaps the curse of resource wealth. Oil provides 95% of their revenues in foreign currency since independence in 1960 has experienced military and civilian regimes, has strong religious and ethnic tensions, and the recent elections were marred by violence (CIA Factbook). It is an example of what can happen when all the conditions are good, but it shows the benefits of institutional development. In 1998, Nigeria returned to civilian rule, the first term of the new government was one in which there was massive corruption, checks and balances that do not exist because there was no time to introduce powerful interests opposed to them. projects funded to provide opportunities for those in power to benefit and raise funds to buy electoral support. However, at the beginning of his second term as President of institution building to provide checks and balances of the basics, such as calls for public projects, government contracts have been withdrawn from the market and put out to tender, costs been reduced. average of 40% This shows the improvement that can be done with institution-building

Strategic Human Resource Management and Knowledge Management

The use of the strategic management of human resources in knowledge management can provide organizations a significant competitive advantage. Strategic management of human resources is the process of incorporation of management systems and human resources in the strategic management process of an organization (Wright, Dunford and Snell, 2001). It is through the use of strategies that organizations can foster innovation and competitive advantage (Kazmi and Ahmad, 2001). However, to exploit the capabilities of organizational knowledge, it is necessary to strategically manage knowledge.

There is no simple definition of knowledge. The meaning of knowledge depends on both the organization and the context (Alvesson, 1993). Knowledge extends beyond the information in the field of human thought. With the information, humans can think, process knowledge and action (and Seung Won Ardichvili, 2009; McDermott, 1999). Without a human side, knowledge is nothing more than information. Knowledge management, therefore, is the development and implementation of strategies to create, maintain and share knowledge to achieve organizational goals (Edvardsson, 2008). Knowledge management is not new, having been discussed at least 30 years (Henry, 1975). Early research on knowledge management focused on the use of concepts of information technology designed to support knowledge creation, capture and share (Edvardsson 2008, McDermott, 1999, Petersen & Poulfelt, 2002) . As time passed, more and more research has focused on the human element of knowledge management. This paper focuses on the progress of the human element, especially the theoretical and empirical literature on the relationship between the strategic management of human resources and knowledge management.

Most knowledge management systems focus

in using information technology to capture, store, distribute and make available information, which does little to improve the knowledge of the organization. Information systems are focused on a singular aspect of knowledge, information, by not addressing the fact that the knowledge, the result of human thought, goes beyond mere information or data. McDermott (1999, p. 104) suggests that the use of information systems was “the great trap in knowledge management.” Rather than just information systems, systems for human resources and systems information is necessary to combine knowledge management. The best use of knowledge can be done by focusing on the human aspect of knowledge, rather than the content specific knowledge themselves. Development of the communities in which knowledge and innovation if, in fact, shared disks efficiently, resulting in a greater competitive advantage. McDermott also suggests that through the planning of the organizational structure and culture with knowledge management in mind, knowledge can create, share and use. A lot of modern literature agrees that the human elements are at least as important as the information systems for knowledge management (Ardichvili and Seung Won, 2009; Edvardsson 2008, Lopez-Cabrales, Perez -Luno, and Cabrera, 2009).

While the human factor in knowledge management is generally accepted, there are many thoughts on the integration of alternative systems for managing human resources in knowledge management. Robertson and Hammersley (2000) conducted an exploratory research in human resource practices and knowledge management within a single organization. The organization has studied with some formal practices of human resource management, and found that employees are motivated to share their knowledge. The organization is also very competitive in the market, despite the absence of traditional human resources. The research findings suggest that some organizations in knowledge-intensive, regular strategies Human resources are inadequate or ineffective. Hislop (2003) postulated that the reason for the organization studied by Robertson and Hammersley was a success in knowledge management has been the commitment of the employees of the organization. When employees are very dedicated to their work and organization, knowledge is shared without organic processes. In some cases, it is necessary to treat the employees working in knowledge-intensive organizations differently than regular workers, possibly because that they expect a higher level of autonomy and independence in their work (Robertson & Hammersley, 2000). Discard the regular practices and human resource management processes to encourage informal methods, informal and subjective management of human resources could lead to better performance. Edvardsson (2008) also found that the normal process of human resource management may need to change the knowledge-intensive organizations because these organizations are inherently complex and irregular. rigid process, such as programs for recruitment, performance management and reward may limit the exchange of knowledge, stifling creativity, with a negative effect on competitive advantage.

Petersen Poulfelt (2002) agreed that require different strategies depending on the type of workers and the organizational culture. While the study focused on factors external to the human resource strategies, also concluded that performance management and incentive programs contribute significantly to the success of knowledge management. To strategies to create and store knowledge for success, incentives and rewards should be used to promote the creation and sharing. For example, incentives for documentation systems and processes should be used in combination with incentives is the sharing of information with other workers. This concept has been accepted by a number of theorists and researchers (Edvardsson, 2008).

(2003) suggests that knowledge management is not employed full-time resource management strategies and concepts. It is further suggested that the level of employee engagement in the organization contributes directly to the effective management of knowledge, and this may be due to human resource policies and processes. The strategic management of the incorporation of techniques to motivate employees can contribute to the commitment, ultimately, competitive advantage . Although much of the literature focuses on the storage and exchange of knowledge, Hislop said that the attraction and retention of employees can be as important as knowledge sharing in the use of knowledge management in promoting innovation. As modern organizations use a greater number of more skilled workers, who are at risk of losing workers to other organizations, or even be able to recruit skilled workers all. Therefore, it is vital that organizations develop strategies to manage human resources with knowledge of the mind. This includes strategies to manage the recruitment and selection to find and hire new skilled workers, which bring valuable new knowledge. Without such strategies, including a turnover rate declined rapidly can lead to a loss of organizational knowledge.

The attempt to integrate the strategic management of human resources with knowledge management, Edvardsson (2008) makes a clear distinction between technical strategies and strategies based on human health, calling for the codification and personalization. Coding strategies focus on the structuring of knowledge systems and databases to store and distribute the information in an organization. Critics of coding strategies in mind that stored information lacks context, leading to “junkyards of information”, where the stored information is never used (McDermott, 1999, p. 104 ). Personalization refers to strategies that recognize that knowledge has a human aspect, focusing on recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and promote communication. While the strategy of trying to control effectively the knowledge of organization, coding tends to focus on getting the employee information and databases, personalization, while focusing on obtaining and retaining employees with key skills. Human Resources Strategies to influence knowledge management vary depending on the selected management strategy. For example, performance management, coding strategies call for short-term goals related to the amount of materials or stored (Edvardsson, 2008). In contrast, personalization strategies, objectives are the development rather than on the basis of the results in the longer term, focusing on creativity and innovation. In fact, a combination of both strategies is generally required (Petersen & Poulfelt, 2002). A good example of the differences in these strategies is the difference in recruitment strategies. With encryption, recruitment tends to be very formal, based on job descriptions in writing, with emphasis on screening and the assessing candidates (Edvardsson, 2008). However, a personalization strategy implies a less formal approach to subject recruitment, which focuses more on whether the candidates are part of the culture of knowledge sharing of organization. These theories tend to align with the research of Robertson and Hammersley (2000).

The recent empirical research also found that the strategic management of knowledge resources can improve knowledge in organizations (Lopez -Cabrales, et al., 2009). In particular, human resources systems enable companies to develop and improve staff knowledge and advice to employees to ensure knowledge is used to achieve organizational goals. L use of human resources strategy for knowledge management helps create unique knowledge, however, López-Cabrales, et al. suggest that there is no better <-! NextPage - practical> to use human resources to manage process knowledge. In a way, this research is derived from Wright, Dunford and Snell (2001), suggesting that any competitive advantage is not derived from human resources systems, but human resource systems provide a framework for storing and sharing of knowledge. Propose to expand the concepts common in the process of resource management to include knowledge of the organization, allowing the entry of human resources on a wide range of work processes.

However, it was suggested that perhaps human practices regular resources are not relevant in the modern world of knowledge-based organizations (Chasserio and Legault, 2009; Minbaeva, Foss, and Snell, 2009; Robertson & Hammersley, 2000). Chasserio and Legault (2009) even suggest that strategic management of human resources can be totally irrelevant in some modrn, high-tech companies. In studies on a variety of organizations in knowledge-intensive, has found that some strategies for managing human resources and policies. People are instead relegated to operational procedures, such as compliance with the instruments relationships work. In organizations where this happens, there is very little in the way of human intervention in the strategy. This lack of strategy is opposed to research by Petersen and Poufelt (2002), which found that knowledge management is more effective in organizations where knowledge management strategy is needed and with the support of the organizational structure, culture and overall business strategies. Chasserio Legault and speculate that the concepts of commitment, such as holding Hislop (2003) and others require further analysis, particularly in regard to highly skilled workers.

The use of the strategic management of human resources for knowledge management is a start-up practice. Much amount of literature is theoretical in nature, and many are based on empirical research samples which are statistically insignificant or anecdotes. With the current level of research on the relationship between the strategic management of human resources and knowledge management is largely dependent on the context . There are several areas in the field would benefit from additional longitudinal research. The impact of human resource systems and management processes in knowledge management will be better understood through research in areas such as the influence of design work, organizational culture, career opportunities, and evaluation systems and reward. Further research on employee engagement will ensure that human resources to focus on areas where strategies can be more profit be made, and occupy minimal space in which they are of little use. What emerges from research is that effective knowledge management can and should provide a significant competitive advantage. When organizations are able to direct their knowledge to innovation, competitive advantage will continue.
