Abstract

Today, organizations have realized that no amount of knowledge capital can put them in a desirable competitive world. Therefore, more than any other factor, the employees of the organization are considered as the owners of knowledge and the most important assets of the organization, and knowledge management as a tool that can gather and organize existing knowledge and dynamics and spread it throughout the organization is important. But what is important is the impact on other dimensions of knowledge management. One of the dimensions mentioned in the cybernetic texts. In this article, in addition to introducing and defining cybernetics and its features and its application in organizations, we seek to use cybernetics in knowledge management. This article, after reviewing the concepts of knowledge management, cybernetics and each of its dimensions, addresses the applications of cybernetics in knowledge management of organizations.
