5 Conclusion
Knowledge management refers to efforts made systematically to find, organize, and make the intangible capitals of organizations accessible and also to strengthen the culture of continuous learning and knowledge-sharing in organizations. Focusing on knowledge management and making huge investments in information technology, most organizations are to have access to the advantages of knowledge management [139]. In this respect, successful implementation of knowledge management requires a comprehensive view to different organizational factors. The major challenge of organizations is to understand knowledge management and how to implement it. Today, the biggest dream of organizations is to define an appropriate knowledge management system and its administration in an effective manner. However, the success in this respect (implementation of knowledge management) is only possible though the identification of key success or failure factors. To this end, the present study evaluated the failure factors in knowledge management. In most existing methods in the field of evaluation of management knowledge failure factors, the evaluation of importance or the conditions of these components have been merely examined. However, a more appropriate approach can prevent failure factors affecting the implementation of knowledge management in organizations.
