Abstract: AbstractThis paper studies knowledge management practices of i2E, Inc. (innovation 2 Enterprise), a nonprofit organization which focuses on expanding Oklahoma's technology-based entrepreneurial economy. i2E serves as a knowledge repository of resources for individuals who have ideas and want to develop those ideas into an enterprise. They developed a program that educates would-be entrepreneurs on how to navigate the waters of developing a business, where to find resources, and how to be successful. Educating the entrepreneurs is done through i2E's ability to manage knowledge and provide knowledge resources to their clients. This study examines the extent by which i2E uses knowledge management tools to help their clients be successful.
