A systematic review developed a comprehensive model for conducting knowledge management audits (KMAs). This structured approach aims to improve knowledge management implementation success by ensuring thorough KMA execution.
Area of Science:
- Information Science
- Organizational Studies
Background:
- Knowledge Management Audits (KMAs) are critical for successful knowledge management (KM) implementation.
- Inadequate KMAs often lead to the failure of KM initiatives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically investigate the performance of KMAs in organizations.
- To present a comprehensive model for conducting KMAs based on a systematic review.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of studies published between 2000 and 2013.
- Searched electronic databases (Emerald, LISA, Cochrane), e-journals, and digital libraries.
- Included Persian and English sources detailing KMA steps.
Main Results:
- Identified key activities for successful KMAs.
- Developed a comprehensive model for KMA execution.
- Emphasized preliminary activities, situation determination, and data analysis.
Conclusions:
- A systematic and comprehensive KMA is essential for effective knowledge management implementation.
- The proposed model provides a structured framework for organizations to perform KMAs.
- Proper execution involves infrastructure assessment, situation analysis, and data utilization.
