Abstract :
Before implementing knowledge management in organization the most important issue is to select an adequate strategy which its absence results to failure of KM programs. Due to the importance of adequate strategy selection on KM effectiveness, little research has been done considering all organizational factors. Current research aims to identify all organizational factors related to KM strategy selection in three industrial strategic organizations. Methodology for this research is applied in purpose and descriptive in data gathering. Current study carried out by the help of a questionnaire tool distributed to 34 managers and KM experts in aforementioned organizations. To analyze data and test hypotheses the authors have used Chi-square method through windows SPSS.20 software. Results clearly show that there are meaningful relationships between all main variables of research (organizational strategy, organizational culture, leadership style, human resources strategy, and IT maturity level) by adequate selection of strategy; while there are not meaningful relationships among three sub-variables of cultural super-imposable, isolationist leadership style and secondary human resource strategy. Therefore, by omitting them from conceptual model of research, the model of factors affecting the selection of adequate knowledge management strategy is proposed.
