Abstract: In an unpredictable business environment, such as the one that characterized the economy at the beginning of the 21st century, knowledge management has become one of the most valued intangible assets by organizations that have recognized the importance of knowledge in the creation and development of competitive advantages and performance. However, most investigations have been focused on big enterprises, only a few have been paid attention to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). For this reason, the present research analyzes the importance of knowledge management in SMEs through a sample of 125 manufacturing SMEs from Aguascalientes State (Mexico). The results obtained show that manufacturing SMEs have good knowledge management which can be regarded as a competitive advantage.
