Knowledge management efficiently handles information and resources within a commercial organization. The purpose of knowledge management is to share perspectives, ideas, experiences, and information; to ensure the information is available in the right place at the right time to enable informed decisions and to improve efficiency by reducing the need to rediscover knowledge. Knowledge management consists of three areas: accumulating, storing, and sharing knowledge.
