Knowledge management is an on‐going process that involves varied activities: diagnosis, design, and implementation of knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, and knowledge sharing. The primary goal of knowledge management, like other management theories or models, is to identify and leverage organizational and individual knowledge for the organization and its members to perform better and, consequently, sustain competitive advantage.
