Providing a Triangular Model for Gap Analysis Case Study: Iran Khodro Company
The investigation of the present state of the organization is one of the most basic steps for implementation of knowledge management (KM), and gap analysis is among techniques proposed for investigation of present state of the organization. This paper is an attempt to provide a new framework for gap analysis in implementation of KM that considering the effective factors in KM. Therefore, we first introduce the effects of three important factors of Organizational Culture (OC), Information Technology (IT), and KM mechanisms (human based factors) on gap analysis and investigate the status of each of these gaps in Iran Khodro Company (IKCO) by combining statistical method and data mining techniques. Then, the triangular model of gap analysis is provided considering the state-of the art researches in this area and also the findings of investigation of gap analysis in given company. Finally, a framework is proposed for projecting and planning KM
