A theoretical literature review on knowledge management framework.

Discovering the suitable technique and tools to effectively manage a company's information is one of the most challenging challenges for any organization. The inability to obtain the right information in a timely manner, incorrect decisions based on incorrect information, and repetition of errors can have a negative effect on staff productivity, which can have an effect on the organization's profitability. Knowledge management has been widely used in various businesses, governments, and other institutions. Finding, capturing, sharing, and utilizing various types of knowledge are all part of the knowledge management process, which aims to increase organizational performance. Theoretical Literature Review is used in this study to fully understand the theories already in existence, their relationships, and the degree to which they have been studied. The creation of research questions is the initial step in performing this study. After that, search for various genres of literature that were released in research journals between 2017 and 2021. SpringerLink, Excellence Research Australia (ERA), Science Direct, IEEE, and THESAI are some of the journal databases included in this study. The purpose of this research is to get a deeper understanding of the knowledge management framework, identify its weaknesses and strengths, as well as commonly used knowledge management methods and processes, as a guideline for future research to develop a more effective knowledge management framework. Observations of the knowledge management process within the knowledge management framework revealed that multiple knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, information repository, knowledge acquisition, and knowledge application procedures are frequently utilized. Regarding knowledge transformation and knowledge brokers, their use is currently infrequent. In addition, the knowledge management framework's strengths include enhanced swifter decision-making, enhanced competitive advantage, increased cooperation & partnership management, increased constant innovation, the best organizational traits, increased worker productivity, and integrated management. Nonetheless, the management framework has several flaws, such as a data collection process with numerous questions that can lead to confusion in determining the issue's focus, the absence of an evaluation process, the absence of framework testing, and the framework's limited implementation that can only be used in domains. In the future, a better suitable framework can be created using the comparison of knowledge management frameworks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
