The model provides not only what to be measured but also how to measure the practice of knowledge management. Moreover, it categorizes knowledge management activities into different stages of the life cycle. Furthermore, this study analyzes the strategic objectives of knowledge management and shows, in case studies, how knowledge management activities proceed in different strategic objectives. An implementation model of knowledge management can be obtained.
