“…KM is defined as a firm’s ability “to create, transfer, assemble, integrate and exploit knowledge assets” (Inkpen, 2000, p. 1020). Although there is no single definition of KM as it has been conceptualized in a variety of ways such as management process, organizational ability and, more recently, as a type of dynamic capability (Bamel and Bamel, 2018; Obeso et al , 2020), majorly it is considered as a process that enables firm “to leverage knowledge to enhance competitiveness” (Heisig et al , 2016).
