Abstract

This paper investigated the correlation between the level of knowledge management (KM) and efficiency of ceramic tile companies in Iran. KM was measured with four components: infrastructure, process, people, and strategy and then efficiency was measured with data envelopment analysis (DEA). First, factor analysis was used in order to determine KM factors. Then, the partial correlation between KM components and efficiency was computed. Finally, multiple linear regressions were computed with the four independent variables (factors) and efficiency. Results showed positive relationship between the KM level and the efficiency in ceramic tile industry.
