Summary
A vast array of the literature has been demonstrated how knowledge management (KM) has an integrated impact on the three perspectives of sustainability: Economic, environmental, and social. Human Resource Development (HRD) is a newly emerging study in the field of management. Though development of human beings has been in existence in one form or another since time immemorial, a systematic and planned approach to HRD in the company form of organization emerged in the latter half of the 20th century. Scientists, philosophers and intelligent laymen have been concerned about creating, acquiring, and communicating knowledge and improving the re-utilization of knowledge It is only in the last few decades that a distinct field called “knowledge management” (KM) has emerged. Through KM, organizations seek to acquire or create potentially useful knowledge and to make it available to those who can use it at a time and place that is appropriate for them to achieve maximum effective usage in order to positively influence organizational performance. It is generally believed that if an organization can increase its effective knowledge utilization by only a small percentage, great benefits will result (Levitt and March, 1988, p. 319)
