In this R&D e-book you will find Causal Relationships and Conceptual knowledge. While Knowledge implies action and is measured in the result, it becomes the competitive advantage to make a difference.
Useful data is information. Information, logically structured in pursuit of an added value, is knowledge.
For real knowledge to exist there has to be a logical structuring of the reality that one hopes to influence. It can be said that only those needing to influence can attain knowledge.
That is why a marginal attitude in a situation prevents us from having knowledge about it. If one does not need to influence, no knowledge is attained. One can obtain information, in the best of scenarios, and data, in most cases.
Knowledge management in organizations aims to cover three aspects of the problem:

1) On the one hand, it seeks to gain knowledge on the basis of one’s own experiences and that of others.
2) On the other, it seeks to prevent the knowledge that one has from being lost.
3) And, it seeks to structure knowledge so as to make it easily manageable, accessible and grounded.

By definition, knowledge is what enables an individual to use tools to make good use of the information he has available and to produce a result that has been sought with added value.
The research work published in this R&D e-book gives a great starting point for the analysis of institutional and personal knowledge management.
