Reflections on knowledge management in the United Nations Organization.
Abstract
Knowledge management as a discipline emerged in the academic field during the nineties of the last century. Despite its short chronological history, countless organizations from all spheres of human activity have been assuming it as a valuable tool to increase their effectiveness and to face the demands of the environments in which they operate. The United Nations, being the largest international organization, currently in existence, is continually exposed to greater challenges, which demand new knowledge on a daily basis in order to fulfill its mission; that is why, the present work presents some reflections on the state of knowledge management and its strategic importance in this organization.
