Knowledge management has become an independent field of management that touches many areas, including management information systems, informatics, library management and media, and countless others.

Knowledge management is one of the contemporary intellectual developments, first proposed as a new approach to studying and understanding organized business. It soon became a practical discipline better suited to the rapid changes in the business world.
Its role has grown as it became clear that building and sustaining competitive advantage depends mainly on intellectual assets, specifically knowledge assets and investment in them. This promotes continuous innovation in both products and processes, which in turn helps extend that advantage for as long as possible.
