【 摘 要 】

Although companies have been trying to widen their organizational knowledge in order to obtain competitive advantages, knowledge management finds opposition, for it is impossible not to work the culture of organizations and their learning processes if there is a real interest in managing knowledge. Depending on the type of the predominant culture and the opening that is given to organizational learning, a company can open or close itself to the process of learning management. So, this article raises the need of giving attention to the organizational culture and to its processes of learning so that knowledge management can be successful. Organizational culture is a very complex and extensive issue, which is influenced not only by the culture of the individuals who work in the organizations, but also by the culture of the country where organizations are settled. This article has also attempted to emphasize organizational culture itself and its relation to the success of Knowledge management. The organizational learning was presented as an alternative for facilitating the culture and the processes of knowledge management.
