Abstract :
At present the necessity of paying attention to knowledge management and IT management has been a challenging issue for the managers of organizations. This matter seems incomplete without paying attention to the applicability of the mentioned concepts. Hence, in this article, the basic assumptions of knowledge management and its relation to information technology are investigated from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The formation, definitions, literature, processes, and all the issues related to the knowledge management will be presented. In addition, it is mentioned that in spite of the close relationship between information technology and knowledge management, it is not possible to substitute technology for human knowledge. Finally, having reviewed some principles and obstacles to knowledge management, the researchers propose innovative ways in order to carry out knowledge management programs via information technology in Iran.
