Summary
Knowledge organization is considered one of the organizational capitals. Organizational knowledge means choosing the right science in the appropriate time and conditions [1]. Intelligent management is to use knowledge to face and deal with uncertainty factors, maintain opportunities and innovate to expand competition [3] This requires organizations to value and prioritize knowledge management and related steps as an essential requirement for pioneering in the competition [4]. Despite strong reasons for strategic use of knowledge management to improve organizational performance, there are various obstacles in implementing knowledge management in organizations [7]. These obstacles can be summarized as: 1) unfamiliarity of managers with knowledge management (senior and middle managers are not fully familiar with knowledge management and do not understand its advantages for the organization); 2) employees consider knowledge as a source of power (employees do not tend to share their knowledge) [7]
