Abstract

The combination of ethics and governance in knowledge management is a significant factor for the responsible generation, knowledge dissemination, and application within organisations. The use of data in various business activities has had a significant impact on, and therefore, the consideration of ethical aspects, intellectual property, and knowledge sharing among others. The present chapter of the book deals with the theoretical basis of ethics in knowledge management, pointing at the main ethical principles, governance frameworks as well as corporate responsibilities. It brings up the issues of knowledge hoarding, misinformation, and the challenge of being open while keeping the data protected. Furthermore, the current chapter of the book investigates the role of governance in bringing KM (knowledge management) activities in line with the values and laws of the organisation. Through the combination of ethical decision-making models and governance strategies, groups can pave the way for a culture of responsible knowledge management that not only cultivates trust, innovation, and sustainable growth but also is in line with the digital age.
