Organizations are facing many challenges to remain relevant in the face of new technology, emerging markets, and changing consumer behaviors. Many organizations look to become learning organizations with knowledge management strategies to leverage their knowledge assets and continuously innovate their strategies and products. However, organizations struggle to achieve success with knowledge management because their organizational culture does not support knowledge-sharing and must be adapted for this new behavior. Knowledge must flow through the organization, and so, therefore, these necessary behaviors must work within the existing corporate culture. Observations from a case study at a software company are discussed, and a new knowledge management model, the Knowledge Management Triangle, is introduced. The Knowledge Management Triangle is a simple model to explain and implement knowledge management within organizations and is customizable to work within the organization's culture to ensure the new knowledge management behaviors are appropriately adopted.

In the knowledge economy era, increasing attention has been on the myths and secrets of knowledge management (KM). Being the core of the intangible assets of organizations, proper and effective KM is an inimitable and sustainable competitive advantage in today’s competitive world. Taking this into consideration, this paper probes the dynamic relationship and impact mechanism between corporate culture, leadership styles and knowledge management in organizations based on literature review in this field. This research shows that corporate culture can serve as a propeller or inhibitor in KM. Knowledge-supportive and knowledge-sharing corporate culture has a positive influence on KM, while hierarchical and paternalistic corporate culture has a negative influence. Leadership style has a direct and indirect impact on KM through the formation and components of corporate culture. Leaders impact the organization’s KM in various ways.

Knowledge has been recognized as a valuable resource for organizational activities. As businesses are entering the world of Web 2.0, knowledge sharing is widely regarded as a critical issue in the area of organizational knowledge management (KM). Recently, organizations have started adopting blog-based knowledge management systems (KMS) with encouraging results. Used as a tool for sharing organizational knowledge, blogging can aggregate the intellectual power of individual members, serve as innovative KMS, and lead to the creation of a trust-based corporate culture. However, despite the increasing adoption of blogs by organizations, a theoretical framework for understanding a blog-based KMS has not been developed. This chapter attempts to present a framework for understanding a blog-based KMS in an organizational setting, grounded in a socio-psychological approach and the application of social identity and symbolic interaction theories.
