Abstract :
Knowledge management (KM) has attracted significant attention from researcher and practitioners as a facilitator of firm performance. Even though companies have implemented KM, they offer inconsistent support that KM enhances firm performance. Thus, the present article examines a research that determined the factors influence activity of knowledge management to enhance performance. Data from 135 manufacturing firms provide empirical support for the research. The KM activity creates and influences factors from infrastructure capability and business strategy of the firm. KM activity also has significant direct effect on firm performance.
