The fundamentals of the concept of enterprise knowledge (knowledge-based corporation) are disseminated in the literature as an alternative to the enterprise model using the capital or human labour (capital-intensive and labor-intensive respectively). Many authors describe the methods of knowledge management.

The interactive nature of the modern organizations makes that creation transfer and application of knowledge takes place in the dimension of inter-organizational relationships also carried out on an international scale within the global corporations and independent businesses. The spatial dimension of knowledge creation is effectively solved through the Internet technologies; interactivity of cooperation significantly shortens the time horizon of strategic decisions in relation to operational decisions.
