Abstract

The knowledge plays a significant role in the history of man, being a precious strategic resource for people and for businesses. However, just purchase it does not provide a greater power for the organization, it is necessary to manage, store, and disseminate the knowledge properly. In this way, assuming that there is a need for more research on the Knowledge Management, we developed a bibliometric study aimed to investigate the trends of research presented in articles on this subject published in major Brazilian journals evaluated by CAPES in the period 2010-2014. In this process, fourteen articles were analyzed, in which Nonaka and Davenport excelled in relation to the frequency that they were cited as theoretical foundation. In relation to methodological procedures adopted in the polls, there was a great diversity, with exploratory and descriptive researches using bibliographic, documentary procedures, field studies and case studies. Finally, it was noted that most of the studies focused on specific firms.
