Abstract

Since the ISO 30401 Standard of Knowledge Management Systems is still confronted with ambiguities, its implementation by organizations, incompatibility, and doubts. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ISO 30401 can be used as a new criterion for value -making and knowledge management research and the basis for certification? This article is an analytical -descriptive approach and content analysis that describes the structure and content of ISO 30401 and systematically uses the components and stimuli of the research identified from identified research of the knowledge management studies validating and testing them. To achieve this, databases were identified and categorized from articles containing these components and published between 2010 and 2021, and finally 57 qualitative researches out of 271 researches were chosen. The findings showed that ISO 30401 successfully combines a variety of studies in an international practical standard. This research explains how ISO 30401 standard and certification may help create value and refer to possible management initiatives to realize value increase; Provides guidelines for further operationalization by certification and implementation organizations by managers and what they should do to add value when implementing ISO 30401.
