Strategic planning approaches to knowledge management: a taxonomy

The paper discusses and proposes a taxonomy of approaches to the strategic planning of Knowledge Management (KM). The concept of KM strategy is relatively recent and has been developed based on the assumption that any KM programme requires the definition of long-term goals, resources, and plans, i.e., a KM strategic planning. Empirical evidence shows that the conditions for the successful implementation of KM can change from a company to another and in relation to the external context, and this may call for different appropriate approaches to KM planning.
