An important endeavor within the field of knowledge management (KM) is to better understand the nature of knowledge organizations. These are variously called knowledge-based organizations, knowledge-centric organizations, knowledge-intensive organizations, knowledge-oriented organizations, and so forth. One approach to doing so is to study the characteristics of specific organizations of this type such as Chaparral Steel (Leonard-Barton, 1995), Buckman Labs, World Bank, or HP Consulting (O’Dell, 2003). A complementary approach is to study various frameworks that have been advanced for systematically characterizing the elements, processes, and relationships that are found in knowledge organizations. Here, we examine three such frameworks that are representative of the variety in perspectives that have been advocated for understanding the nature of knowledge organizations. These frameworks share a view that sees knowledge as a key organizational asset that enables action. However, they differ in emphases (e.g., asset vs. action) and constructs.

sharing knowledge is transmission of knowledge (implicit or tacit) from an organization, group, or person to another one. Through sharing knowledge, organizations are able to improve their effectiveness, saves cost of training and moderate risks due to lack of certainty. While managing knowledge, organizations find it difficult to motivate employees for sharing knowledge with others. Therefore, it is essential to recognize the elements impacting information sharing and trust. This paper attempts to understand trust and persuasive variables that impact information sharing conduct in associations. It is huge that there are a not many investigations because of inspirational factors on information sharing conduct through trust as an arbitrator. Right now, specialist proposed a hypothetical system that consolidated inspirational elements with Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to depict the relationship among inspiration (extraneous and inherent), trust and demeanors toward information sharing. This paper will be important to the experts as it gives a premise of understanding persuasive elements for information sharing and trust.

Knowledge organizations have been challenged to develop sustainable, actionable and business oriented knowledge management strategies. Many strategies published in the peer reviewed and gray literature include tactics, principle, platitudes and checklists. Organizations often borrow templates from associations or other organizations as starting points for formulating their strategies. These strategies often fall short of expectations. This chapter proposes a framework for an organization to walk through the process of developing a knowledge management strategy that aligns with business-critical capabilities, identifies the intellectual capital and knowledge assets required to support those capabilities, aligns assets and capabilities, and creates a foundation for selecting and monitoring tactics to invest in and manage liabilities associated with those assets. The chapter recommends a strategic infrastructure that is comparable to those developed for financial and physical assets.
