Nadalje , dolazi se do same organizacije znanja koja se temelji na pristupu znanju kao resurs koji je oskudan i značajan i koji je struktuiran na principu povezanosti instrumenata i procesa za uspješno upravljanje znanjemu organizaciji.I na samom kraju rada prikazan je primjer istraživanja kroz praksu upravljanja znanjem u hrvatskim poduzećima. The concept of knowledge management, which is based on several factors, including information and communication technology and globalization, is described in the paper.
