Description
The management of knowledge applies in all sectors of the economy including primary industries, manufacturing, technology and the service sector. It represents an increased focus on identifying knowledge and intellectual resources so that instead of 'not knowing what they know', organisations can bring together and make accessible all the skills and knowledge and apply them to increase operational and individual performance.
