Knowledge in any organization must be managed. Employees and managers in the company have a large amount of knowledge that must be organized, managed, and shared.
Strategy is a skill, art, and a set of scientific knowledge that helps guide certain actions, taking into account certain conditions necessary to achieve the main goal.
Knowledge management strategies in the organization are created to create new value, realized in people, products, and processes and aim to increase the efficiency of use of all available resources and are aimed at knowledge exchange within a kind of information capacity (to improve it) or to effectively transfer knowledge from one form of skill to another. 7 strategies are accepted as basic, which can be divided into three groups: effective formation and use of knowledge in the ranks of a type of intellectual capital; the second group considers the possibilities for interaction between two types of intellectual capital and one is dedicated to the simultaneous interaction of all types of information capital.
