Knowledge management framework for the development of an effective knowledge management strategy

To survive and prosper in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment, organizations need to explicitly manage their knowledge. This article reports on a knowledge management framework that provides a clear and unambiguous knowledge base, which in turn can serve as a platform for the development of an effective knowledge management strategy. An appropriate knowledge framework is selected and combined with an appropriate management framework to create a well defined, theoretically sound knowledge management framework.
