Plenty of managers have comprehended the essential role of knowledge in
acquiring competitive advantages and pursuing the strategic organizational
objectives. Since knowledge management is a competitive obligation, it is
crucial for organizations to know whether their systematization is prepared or
not. Lack of appropriate infrastructures and the indispensable prerequisites
cause the utilization of such procedures to be extravagant rather than profitable.
The presentation of organizational preparation model in knowledge
management is inevitable to attain such a goal. That is why, a conceptualized
model was offered in this research to quantify the preparedness of an
organization. The indexes pertinent to knowledge management preparation
were extracted from the subject’s literature review. Then they were
dispatched to 50 experts and cognoscenti in the knowledge management
field, whereas 40 questionnaires were rendered back. The authentication
agent analysis methodology was used to validate 5 factors, which
encompassed 19 indices and Finally 6 indices were crossed out. t-test 2-term
experimentations were employed to verify the chief and subordinate
hypotheses. The indices and determinants of the model were stipulated in the
ensuing stage, in which a harmonious mean was utilized. 94 questions were
chosen for the verified indices. The Iranian statistics kernel was quantified
through this questionnaire. The preparation level was illustrated in diverse
dimensions and some proposals were offered based upon the organization
circumstances.
