【 摘 要 】

In the present era of knowledge economy, knowledge embedded within an organization is a great source of sustainable competitiveness. Growing importance of knowledge-intensive industries makes KM a strategic tool in the growth and success of all businesses. Hence, Knowledge Management (KM) is considered as a critical input in the growth of any organization and more so in the case of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). KM is considered as indispensable for competitive and sustainable growth of SMEs. Hence, an incisive approach for KM in SMEs is a requisite in the recent situation. SMEs should be conversant with and insightful of the issues that will impact the achievement of a Knowledge Management (KM) activities. The successful execution of KM in SMEs is managed and invigorated by certain originating issues. Hence in order for KM initiative to be successfully implemented, all these issues must be taken into consideration and be systematically and thoroughly investigated. Thus, taking a holistic view, we investigate KM issues in automotive component manufacturing SMEs in India and focusing on the impact of each issue in an SME on KM implementation.
