Abstract
One of the ways to succeed in implementing knowledge management is to have the right, clear and planned strategy; But, in order to choose the right strategy, many organizational factors must be considered, and the status of knowledge creation and dissemination processes has a direct impact on the selected strategy; Therefore, the present study was conducted to identify the knowledge management strategy by using the dynamic approach in the Ministry of Sport and Youth. The research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of method. The statistical population was at the first part: managers and expert advisers of the organization that aware of the field and the second part: the deputy general managers, group leaders and department heads. The statistical sample was selected in the first and second part through purposive sampling and all-counting, respectively. The macro range of knowledge management strategy was determined in a range from system-oriented to human-oriented. The status of knowledge management processes was evaluated based on Nonaka and Takeuchi models and the final strategy with the aim of creating a balance between implicit and explicit knowledge was selected. Descriptive and inferential statistics including kalmogorov smiranov test and one sample T-test were used. Based on the results, the system-oriented strategy was identified as the main strategy and the internalization and externalization processes were identified as the priority processes; As a result, it is necessary to focus on information-based strategies in order to strengthen the transformation of explicit knowledge into implicit and conversely.
