Abstract

This research investigated the database of journal articles related to knowledge management and blockchain technology. Knowledge is the most important production factor in competition. The purpose of knowledge management is to improve the ability of knowledge to create value. Blockchain is a shared distributed database, and blockchain technology, as one of the most popular computer technologies in recent years, has received great attention from all over the world. Purpose/Significance: This article aims to review and comment on the domestic and foreign literature on the use of blockchain technology for knowledge management, outline the current research status in this field, and predict its future research directions. Method/Process: This article will mainly use the literature survey method and the inductive analysis method, retrieve and screen 212 articles (2000-2021) published in the past three years, and get a total of 40+ articles directly related to the use of IOT or blockchain technology for knowledge management The literature, and then conduct a summary analysis of the literature and analyze its content. Result/Conclusion: Find out the trends and characteristics of the development and application of blockchain technology, and explore the feasibility in knowledge management based on these characteristics. The blockchain itself has the characteristics of decentralization, self-operation and sharing, which is highly compatible in knowledge management, especially in the field of enterprise knowledge sharing, and has a higher application prospect in the entire knowledge management field.
