In the society of the XXI century it is generally accepted that a new intangible resource of organizations is knowledge, in addition to the other existing resources: human, capital, raw materials and equipment. This is particularly true in a knowledge-based society and economy, where knowledge has become an invaluable medium for all organizations, particularly businesses. The objective of this paper is to make a diagnosis to describe how to apply knowledge management in the family business Campechanas la Escondida de la Trinidad. This project is based on a case study methodology, with a descriptive type of research; the collection of information uses as instruments with a qualitative approach, observation and interviewing. The results obtained show a dependence on the tacit knowledge possessed by bakers who apply in the artisanal process, in addition to family members, lack human talent management, formal training and innovation, which has limited their competitiveness.
