Knowledge management has been recently considered in business administration literature, as a new discipline that has made an important contribution to the development and implementation of business strategies in organizations. Likewise, it has been considered that businesses, regardless of their size, that have implemented knowledge management as another one of their strategies have obtained significant benefits, being a higher level of performance one of them. In this sense, this paper with a simple of 124 firms analyzes the existing relation between knowledge management and the performance of small business in Aguascalientes state (Mexico).
