Abstract :
Regarding the fact that most failures in implementation of knowledge management have roots in unpreparedness of organizations; assessing organizations readiness has not significantly been regarded. Previous studies had a great deal of gaps and limitations. They had just been looking for effective factors on readiness for implementing of knowledge management through case studies more than other subjects; however, an operational and integrated framework has not been among their findings. This research introduces steps for implementing readiness assessment by offering operational framework. Some guidelines are also offered for compensating limitations and filling the gaps found in previous studies. In order to validate the results and the suggested framework we have received opinions of experts and they have been analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. Results of this analysis indicate general agreement and consensus of experts on the authenticity of suggested framework
