Abstract

The knowledge era has become critical for enabling organizational value. Though knowledge is critical for organizational efficiency, leveraging the intangible form of knowledge is a challenging endeavor. Even though there exist ample studies assessing the role of social networks or virtual communities like knowledge management tools on operational efficiency, there is no clear empirical evidence how the knowledge management processes of a knowledge management system enable an organization in various contexts. The issue is that though such knowledge management tools inspire operational efficiency through the facilitation of quality decision-making, how actually the knowledge management capabilities (i.e., through the application of knowledge management processes: knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, and knowledge storage, knowledge retrieval, and knowledge application) improve organization operation efficiency is yet empirically unknown. There is a need for literature review to shed light on how knowledge management capabilities support the organizational managerial strategies. he knowledge era becomes critical for enabling organizational value.
