Abstract:
This paper presents part of results obtained through field research on knowledge management in Romanian companies. The objective of the research aimed to identify characteristics of knowledge based management in Romanian companies. Starting from this objective, the paper seeks to support the implementation of knowledge based management in local companies as a way to succeed in the growing competition. We believe that documenting the theoretical and practical research can successfully complete the literature and provide essential information in a field that is in relatively early development stage. The statistical universe are local companies – grouped by age, industry, development region, ownership status or size - which implements some or all elements of knowledge based management. Have been used various methods and techniques of analysis: analytical method, comparison, dissociation results, statistical groups, questionnaires, statistical analysis etc. 107 companies were investigated. For seven of them we had to repeat investigation because of inconsistencies in responses. There were no refusals of questionnaires.
