Abstract:

This research is an attempts to develop and validate a new prospective on knowledge management life cycle processes. It draws on the fast well established KM literature, mainly by focus on the earliest KM theories between 1994 and 2005, where the researcher believes that the most contributions to KMLC theories was founded at that era.  Valuing the later literature ON KMLC, the researcher believes that most that is either refection of the past theories or repeating it more presentable fashion. The proposed 5C knowledge Process (5CKP) was validated and test empirically using structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis. The finding confirmed the proposed 5CKP theory with some adjustments and reveled many interestingly and new relations concerning KMLC that required further research attentions and consideration.
