There is no universally accepted denition of knowledge
management. But there are numerous denitions proered by experts. Put
very simply, knowledge management is the conversion of tacit knowledge
into explicit knowledge and sharing it within the organization. Putting it more
technically and accurately, knowledge management is the process through
which organizations generate value from their intellectual and knowledge-
based assets. Dened in this manner, it becomes apparent that knowledge
management is concerned with the process of identifying, acquiring,
distributing and maintaining knowledge that is essential to the organization.
