The management and the organizational knowledge have to be integrated into the process and procedures of the organization for increased growth and performance (Liebenskind 1996). In order to pave the way for the knowledge management in any organization, the organizational management must improve the organizational culture to enhance adaptability among the staff (Zander & Kogut, 1995). Nevertheless, absence of a comprehensive knowledge in this regards hinders the effort of the organizational performance in Abu Dhabi government entities.
