Comparative Study of Knowledge Management Framework

Knowledge Management (KM) is an integral part of an organization's operations. This study conducted a comparative analysis through comprehensive data collection, including cross-searching related literature sources, such as scientific journals, books, and documents, with a focus on SECI, Wiig KM Cycle, Zack's KM Framework, and Williams KM Cycle. The assessment centers on evaluating each criterion and dimension of the framework. Findings reveal the SECI Model's emphasis on transforming individual knowledge into shared knowledge through social processes, Wiig KM Cycle's continuous knowledge management cycle, Zack's KM Framework assisting in recognizing organizational knowledge gaps, and the Bukowitz & Williams KM Cycle's provision of a comprehensive view of knowledge management processes. This study highlights the criticality of selecting a framework that aligns with the needs of different organizations. The optimal choice offers comprehensive guidance, enhances knowledge management efficacy, and supports overall goals. This research contributes to advancing knowledge in the field, particularly regarding the application of safe management frameworks in organizations.
