Summary

Introduction

By the turn of the industry-based economy towards the knowledge-based economy, organizations have forced themselves to reinforce their competitive strength depending on knowledge and information and using them in the procedure of trading. To answer the important question why some organizations are more successful, we need to understand the vital role of knowledge in them. Organizations are dependent on two types of assets: tangible assets and intangible assets. What had attracted the attention of organizations until quite recently was acquiring and optimizing their tangible assets such as machinery and equipment; but today they have realized that intangible assets such as intellectual capital, experience, organizational knowledge and information are the reasons for their success and presence. Future organizations will be information-based and include experts who set their principles and approaches using the feedbacks received from colleagues, customers and managers. Relying on that the core of utilizing labor force will shift from simple and physical workers towards knowledgeable workers who will be resistant to behavioral approaches of working environments that were used in the army environments for over 100 years; a revolution will appear in organizational fields
