Abstract:

Fast growth of information through different mediums, Knowledge is becoming the key if not the ultimate factor of organization success in terms of its competence and survival. The economies of many countries are depending more on knowledge availability and accessibility. Some organizations have taken initiatives to understand and manage this critical resource. So, managing knowledge has great significance recognition in the business community. In spite of these initiatives, the bulk of organizations still have not approached knowledge management (KM) activity properly. The reason for this confusion and lack of clarity can be attributed to a gap between the emerging KM and the current lack of understanding about this concept by practitioners.
