Knowledge Management Model for Romanian Companies
Knowledge Management Model for Romanian Companies

Summary/Abstract: Knowledge is essential in everyday work. Everyone knows how to carry out his work and this knowledge can be reused later in similar tasks by adopting this knowledge to new situations. The general purpose of Knowledge Management (KM) is to make knowledge usable for more than one individual, e.g. for an organisation as a whole; that is, to share it. New knowledge-based views on organisations suggest that it is knowledge that holds organisations together. KM has existed and has been used for a long time, although it was neither called by this name nor necessarily recognised as what it is until a few years ago. The way of making knowledge available for others has evolved with time. It once started with family clans, where knowledge was passed on from father to son by a long process of learning. With the coming up of teamwork, people were supposed to work closer together to benefit from the synergy of their joint knowledge. Today's efforts aim at knowledge being shared among large organisations which may be geographically spread over the world and active in different kinds of areas. First cases perform this sharing even among different organisations, e.g. use defined interfaces to mediate knowledge not only inside one specific organisation but to also share parts of it among partners. This paper presents a general model for Knowledge Management based on author experience in his Ph.D. studies.
