Abstract

Knowledge undoubtedly considered as the vital organizational asset in todayâ€™s economic scenario, is expected to provide sustainable competitive advantage. Managing knowledge deals with tacit knowledge residing in the minds of people, whereas the domain of Business Intelligence (BI) is explicit knowledge stored on the physical media. Irrespective of industry sectors, Knowledge Management (KM) practices are playing a critical role for business leading to economic growth. With the rapid growth of abundant data in every organization and advanced techniques, firms have access to extensive pool of knowledge by gathering, analyzing, disseminating and storing of churned data, for decision making. The purpose of this research paper is to retrospect the literature reviews and publications from categories of KM, and BI. This article also highlights the reviewing studies of integration of both KM and BI. Moreover this manuscript is expected to expand the horizon for future research.
