Extended Abstract
Introduction and Objective: To carry out knowledge management projects, organizations need to develop a knowledge management strategy. Considering the important role of the Apiculture Industry Development and Advocacy Fund (AIDAF), this article seeks to develop a knowledge management strategy for this organization.
Material and Methods: The present paper is an applied study that was conducted using a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative), questionnaire, and interview within the conceptual model of the research. The statistical population of the study is comprised of two groups. The first group consisted of 16 employees of AIDAF and the second group consisted of eight managers and experts interviewed using the Delphi technique.
Results: AIDAF was assessed using the Asian Productivity Organization Framework categories (Leadership, processes, people, technology, knowledge processes, learning, innovation, and knowledge management outcomes). According to the results of the questionnaires, the score obtained for AIDAF was 113.6 indicating that AIDAF readiness for knowledge management is at the initiation level.
Conclusion Based on K-SWOT analysis, AIDAF is relatively strong in terms of internal factors (weakness and strength) while, it is in a moderate and almost fragile position in terms of external factors (opportunities and threats). Therefore, AIDAF managers need to take the necessary actions to improve knowledge management.
