Managing knowledge management in organizational settings

Apart from the fact that a traditional approach that emphasizes capturing knowledge in databases, manuals, books, and reports and then sharing it in hard form has become dated, there is no clear-cut understanding or widely shared definitions of knowledge,even though there has been a deluge of literature on knowledge management in the recent past. For any organization to optimize its performance(even if it means selling it in profit or abandoning it for a cause predetermined), it must keep in view the changing scenario. The organizations that are able to understand and act accordingly can be considered successful.
