Nowadays, information is everywhere and there is a need to organize and manage data and information in order for better use and successful business. Organizations are looking toward deploying and getting benefit of the knowledge and process the management in which call knowledge management. Main propose of knowledge management is to identify the needed information and organize it in a way that can be flexible to manage and also in which we can extract and expand our knowledge or the organizational needs. In this paper, a research about the knowledge management is conducted, and definition of knowledge management is introduced. Also, a new model for knowledge management process is implemented with a full illustration and discussion of the model and its importance. In addition, an updated model is proposed and a comparison between the two models. Then, the advantage and difficulties in the knowledge management are briefly discussed with some examples.

Abstract: Environmental changes, increased economic and social knowledge role lead to theoretical and practical changes of knowledge management. Becomes relevant not only to capture and store knowledge within the organization, but also to increase the value of knowledge. It is very important to share them internally and externally in the organisation, in order to create the best business practice. Knowledge dissemination is one of the most complex knowledge management tasks. Often, in practice common problem is that knowledge is not available to the right people or not accessible when they need it. Knowledge acquisition and accumulation is assigned to two different dimensions in the organization: it is individual, but also social-functioning and acquiring meaning only in the social context. This leads to the trend that cooperating knowledge management concept more often occurs in knowledge management, which content focuses on socialization processes and interpersonal interactions. These processes help to create common organization knowledge base, to successful assimilate existing knowledge within the organization and externally, ensuring new knowledge creation process. The paper presents methods by which most commonly implemented, knowledge development and distribution processes and new opportunities for knowledge development are created: communities of practice, social networks of practice and organizational learning, which are focused on supporting and fostering communities to ensure effective knowledge creating and sharing. It is emphasized that the implementation of cooperating knowledge management objectives needs to pay attention to potential practice

Knowledge is today considered to be a critical factor for organisations to survive within an increasingly competitive market. This has resulted in the fact that effective management of information and knowledge has become of crucial importance for companies. Knowledge management systems facilitate this management of knowledge and make it possible to develop new knowledge that can be shared and disseminated within the organisation. Knowledge management has become an increasingly popular term that with the support of information technology aims at enhancing the sharing and utilizing of within the organisation already existing knowledge and has created a new possibility for organisational knowledge sharing. Does a knowledge management system affect the knowledge sharing process within an organisation in reality? This thesis aims at providing the reader an understanding about if and how the knowledge sharing process is affected in reality by a knowledge management system within a specifically chosen survey company. The approach has been to collect literature and scientific articles from authors and universities with experience in knowledge management research. In addition we have also used web sources that we feel are reliable in order to obtain theoretical material. We

We draw on the “fundamental theory of the firm”1 to present three distinct knowledge management strategies: a knowledge hierarchy, a knowledge market, and a knowledge community. Most firms will use one strategy for some knowledge needs and a different strategy for other knowledge needs. All three strategies deliver knowledge by blending people-to-document (codification) and people-topeople (personalization) approaches, depending on the nature of the knowledge. A knowledge hierarchy views knowledge as a formal organizational resource. It manages knowledge creation, development, and reuse2 through deliberate, authority-based processes, using the traditional management hierarchy of a well-defined organizational unit. This knowledge hierarchy strategy is best suited for rapidly changing knowledge where the goal is to substitute expert knowledge for the knowledge of less experienced people. A knowledge market treats knowledge as an individual resource. It manages knowledge creation, development, and reuse through organizational policies that encourage knowledge sharing. This knowledge market strategy is best suited for knowledge that evolves slowly and where the goal is to augment the knowledge of experts. A knowledge community views knowledge as a communal resource. It manages knowledge creation, development, and reuse through informal, trust-based processes within a group of individuals. They share a common interest, but they are often spread throughout the firm. This knowledge community strategy is best suited for moderately changing knowledge where the goal is to augment the knowledge of experts.

Knowledge is a core competence for many types of businesses and especially in a consulting firm. Because of this, Knowledge Management can be viewed as one of the most important processes within this line of work. The purpose of Knowledge Management is to provide a structure for knowledge distribution within the company so that vital knowledge is retained in the system and thus preserved even if a consultant decides to leave the firm. The intention of this paper is twofold. The first aim is to give a short overview of the theories on knowledge and Knowledge Management. The second is to give an example of how these theories were applied to a small consulting firm in order to create a system of knowledge distribution within the firm.

Purpose There is a growing desire for more scientific and technical knowledge regarding Africa. This is because Africa has the potential and opportunity to generate impactful research. However, this potential is not optimized because of several constraints, including the lack of systematic reviews and models of knowledge management and paradoxical trends in Africa. The purpose of this paper is to review studies on knowledge management and associated paradoxes in Africa and a paradox-conscious African knowledge management model. The autochthonous African model that the authors propose has implications for global knowledge management. Design/methodology/approach The authors review studies on knowledge management and paradoxes on Africa. Findings The authors propose a model and identify 12 paradoxes broadly categorized as industrial, political and social. Practical implications The paradoxical tensions characteristic of Africa may be considered integral to business and policy rather than local expressions to be solved through international “best practice.” Originality/value The model this paper propose enables theoretical and empirical studies of knowledge management sensitive to the paradoxical tensions associated with autochthonous management knowledge and autochthonous knowledge management.
