Abstract: This is a step forward in researching about Strategic Knowledge Management — SKM. Firstly, an overview of SKM is presented and indicating the three integrative models: conceptual model, mathematical model and systemic model. After that, the SKM math model is deeply described in order to establish a framework to the study. The research objective was to evaluate conditions to implement SKM in Brazilian corporations. Thus, a methodology of four steps was applied: formulating a questionnaire, considering variables related to systemic factors — cognition, technology, organisational culture, managerial style and context — developing a Math Model Software, that was used to collect data and consolidating results by using a MS Excel; preparing a team of researches that comprised 29 students of the Intelligence Competitive MBA in the Universidade de Brasília. The research considered 15 companies in Brazil, mostly public ones, and 56 strategists and decision makers were heard. Results revealed that the conditions are unfavorable to implement SKM model and improvement actions on systemic factors are considerably required.
