According to Malothra (2000) -The new and unpredictable business environment puts a premium on innovation and creativity much more so than in the past. It is essential that we have to obsolete what we know before others obsolete it and make profit by creating the challenges and opportunities others haven’t even thought about.

According to Churchman (1971) -To conceive of knowledge as a collection of information seems to rob the concept of its life. Knowledge resides in the user and not in the collection. It is how the user reacts to a collection of information that matters. Knowledge is a fluid mix of framed experience, values, contextual information, expert insight and grounded intuition that provides an environment and framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information.

According to Davenport 1998- the knowledge originates from the minds of the knowers. In organizations, it often becomes embedded not only in documents or repositories but also in organizational routines, processes, practices, and norms

According to Hansen and Nohria 1999 - knowledge the only inputs that can help your company cope with radical change and ask the right questions. Knowledge management is not knowledge engineering. Knowledge management needs to meld information systems and people in ways to build the innovations.Knowledge management are about process, not just digital networks. Management of knowledge has to encompass and improve business processes Knowledge management is not about a one-time investment. Knowledge management, like any other future-oriented investment, requires consistent attention over a substantial period of time even after it begins to deliver results

According to Jan Fidel - Like it or not, the years ahead will be an era of change and competition. The only thing one can predict about the future is change. The perfect architecture in organization is not an attainable goal; it is merely a desirable concept. Every company can continuously adapt and adjust to the changing environment. Knowledge building in Organization is just a means to a achieve business goal and it is created to improve productivity. In today's global marketplace, continuous change and adaptation is the only way to survive. “Those who invest in creativity and innovation will be more competitive than those who do not.”

According to Björkegren, 1999 - the organization strategies are decided by the projects taken in the business.

According to (Grabher, 2002). - The projects are part of business in which many specialists work together in coordinated way to do the business.

According to DeFilippi and Arthur, 1998; Gann and Salter, 2000; Grabher, 2002; Hobday, 2000 —the operational efficiency of the organization can increase by the technology based and service oriented dimensions.

According to Peter Drucker 1994 - the most important factors in an economic and social order is knowledge and labor, raw material or capital.

According to Koskinen and Pihlanto, 2008 - the organization culture depends on the importance of such human factors as values, motivations and beliefs of the employees.
