Abstract

Knowledge Management (KM) is an important issue in the 21st century and its execution has become a necessary process for enterprises to reach a level of sustainable development. Enterprises should value their own KM activities and accomplish the goal of sustainable operation through the promotion of effective KM activities. This research studies the impact of the critical success factors of KM on the implementation of KM activities, and its impact on new product development performance. The two intermediate variables, industry groups and the enterprise scales, are considered. After reviewing the literature, this research developed a theoretical model of the factors influencing these relationships. The research results found that the executive degree of critical KM success factors (five dimensions) revealed a significant influence on the executive degree of KM activities. The executive degree of KM activities also revealed a significant impact on new product development performance. As to the intermediate variables of industry groups and enterprise scales, this research proved that industry groups and the enterprise scales do not have any significant influence on the executive degree of KM activities or the new product development performance.
