metadata.value: Many researchers believe that knowledge is the most important resource in the contemporary
  economy, but empirical studies show that knowledge management is not among the most used
  managerial tools. This gap can be explained with the hypothesis that knowledge management produces the significant impact on the effectiveness of organization only with the accompanying
  development of change management. Herewith the critical element of change management is a
  change readiness that allows to assess the possibility and feasibility of changes, consolidate and
  focus efforts, assess the adequacy of resources. This hypothesis is empirically tested using the
  partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method on the data for 103 Russian
  organizations. The results show that the empirical sample includes two statistically different
  datasets. The separating variable is the type of owner, so separate models were built for stateowned
  and private-owned organizations. For private-owned organizations, the hypothesis that
  knowledge management and changes readiness jointly affect effectiveness is fully confirmed. For
  state-owned organizations, knowledge management is not a factor of effectiveness. These results
  have two practical implications. First, managers who rely on the organizational knowledge should
  focus on the joint and coordinated implementation of knowledge management and change management.
  Special attention should be paid to the organizational context that supports individual
  change readiness. Second, state-owned organizations in Russia are less effective rather private
  ones, it is due to the fact that knowledge management for them is not the factor of effectiveness,
  that is in its turn a consequence of suppression of initiatives at the individual level.
