This study employs the PRISMA method to systematically explore knowledge management (KM) in business environments. A review of 44 selected studies identified eight key topics critical to enhancing KM: leadership, technology, strategy, human resource practices, high-performance work systems, innovation, entrepreneurial orientation, and learning orientation. These factors play essential roles in shaping effective KM practices. The findings show that leadership promotes collaboration and trust, creating a supportive environment for KM. Technological advancements facilitate efficient knowledge sharing and application, while strategic alignment ensures KM supports organizational goals. Human resource practices engage employees in knowledge processes, and high-performance work systems enhance knowledge acquisition and utilization. Innovation drives the generation of new ideas, and entrepreneurial orientation encourages a proactive approach to leveraging knowledge for competitive advantage. Despite the growing interest in KM, challenges such as resistance to change, inadequate infrastructure, and varying employee readiness hinder its effective implementation. This study emphasizes the need for an integrated KM approach that addresses these barriers while aligning KM strategies with organizational needs. Future research should investigate how these factors interact across different industries and cultural contexts to optimize KM practices and improve organizational performance.
