The article explains how an organization structure facilitates knowledge management in an organization.What is Knowledge Management all about?.The concept of knowledge management is not new in information systems practice and research. However, radical changes in the business environment have suggested limitations of the traditional information-processing view of knowledge management. New business environments are characterized not only by the rapid pace of change, but also the discontinuous nature of such change. The new business environment, characterized by dynamically discontinuous change, requires a re-conceptualization of knowledge management, as it has been understood in information systems practice and research.

One such conceptualization is proposed in the form of a sense-making model of knowledge management for new business environments. Application of this framework will facilitate business model innovation, necessary for sustainable competitive advantage in the new business environment characterized by dynamic, discontinuous and radical pace of change.KM is the process through which organizations generate value from their intellectual and knowledge-based assets. Most often, generating value from such assets involves sharing them among employees, departments and even with other companies in an effort to devise best practices. It's important to note that the definition says nothing about technology; while KM is often facilitated by IT, technology by itself is not KM.
