Abstract

Effective knowledge management (KM) provides purposeful opportunities to organizations. Many factors affecting successful implementation of KM have been identified in previous research. Despite growing interest on KM, there is still a lack of a complete review the current state of critical influence factors for potentially successful KM adoption. This paper reports a literature review and a classification scheme for knowledge management. The former consists of 42 journal articles published between 1982 and 2009 that are appropriate outlets for KM research. The articles are classified and results of these are presented, based on a scheme that consists of 4 main categories: organizational factors, individual factors, KM capability and organizational performance. A comprehensive list of references is presented. Hopefully, this review will provide a source for anyone interested in KM research and help simulate further interest.
