INTRODUCTION
Knowledge Management is the systematic management of
an organization's knowledge assets for the purpose of
creating value and meeting tactical & strategic
requirements; it consists of the initiatives, processes,
strategies, and systems that sustain and enhance the
storage, assessment, sharing, refinement, and creation of
knowledge.
Knowledge management (KM) therefore implies a strong
tie to organizational goals and strategy, and it involves the
management of knowledge that is useful for some purpose
and which creates value for the organization.

CONCLUSION
Thus we see that knowledge management is a very
important part of the management process in an
organisation. It ensures transparency as well as good
distribution of facts and information. This results in the
smooth working in the organisation as the employees
remain less confused and more confident. These days the
new joinees are trained in this management method
hence evolving a better work experience for themselves as
well as co-workers. There are many failures , various
models that might confuse the expert , but following the
guidelines of knowledge management strategically and
understanding it will lead to good and effective outcome.
