An Exploratory Investigation Into Knowledge Management In Western Australian Knowledge-Intensive Small Businesses, Shukrullah Fassehi
Theses : Honours
From a knowledge management (KM) perspective, organisational effectiveness depends on the organisation’s capacity to effectively perform a range of processes that include identifying, acquiring, sharing, and storing valuable knowledge.

Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Small business has often been referred to as the “engine driving the economy”. This description highlights the significance of small business to the economy of most countries.
