Abstract: Abstract Knowledge management comprises a range of practices used by organizations to identify, create, represent and share knowledge for reuse, awareness and learning. Knowledge management is typically tied to organizational objectives and is intended to achieve specific outcomes, such as shared understanding, improved performance, competitive advantage, or higher levels of innovation. One aspect of knowledge management, knowledge transfer, has always existed in one form or another. Examples include on-the-job peer discussions, formal apprenticeship and mentoring programmes. However, with computers becoming more widespread since the second half of the twentieth century, specific adaptations of technology, such as knowledge bases, expert systems and knowledge repositories, have been introduced to further simplify these processes.
