Knowledge Management Models in Creating, Sharing, Using and Managing the Knowledge and Information of a Company

Abstract

The article investigates the use of Knowledge Management models in creating, sharing, using and managing knowledge and information in a company. The current trend is to implement various knowledge management models in order to attain effective knowledge management. The sole implementation of such models, however, is no guarantee of effectivity in knowledge management. The main objective of this article is to analyze various models of knowledge management and identify their main pros. This is done with a focus on the company context, so that results clearly state which model would be suitable for a particular type of company. The analysis is not limited to only one group of models, but deals both with object-based models and community-based models in order to identify pros that are common to both types of models.
