Globalization era is marked by the vast development of knowledge, technology and information, which is competitively incline. Considering the fact that the global competitiveness continously grows tighter, the paradigm needs to change from resources-based competitiveness to knowledge-based competitiveness. The study on knowledge management towards fishery SMEs (Small and Medium Entreprises) tends to apply tacit knowledge directly among the persons rather than the explicit knowledge. The knowledge management is believed to be invented due to the role of the social capital in the form of trust, norm, and network that proceeds continuously among both the internal SMEs and external institutions. This research was conducted in Ambon as one of the ‘minapolitan area’ in Indonesia, and employed descriptive research method and phenomenology approach based on the assumption of reality reconstruction. As the result, this research found that the knowledge management is evidently created as a form of the social capital role both inside and outside the fishery SMEs areas.

Over the years, there have been an escalating shift from manual work to knowledge work all over the world and knowledge workers are in high demand. This study explores how well knowledge management factors such as information technology, organizational culture, measurement, management leadership and support, and human resources management exist in the Nigerian banking industry and it examined how well these critical success factors are being implemented. The study uses study consisted of members of staff of six selected Nigerian banks. A total of 100 copies of research questionnaire were administered to collect data for the study.  The 100 questionnaires were administered to the respondents out of which 72 copies were duly filled and found usable, amounting to 72% response rate. The study found that there is high level of management leadership and support with mean score of 4.01, organizational culture (4.01), measurement (4.02); information technology (4.43), and human resources management practices (4.18). In total, the mean score for knowledge management practice in the Nigerian banking industry is 4.43, making it a highly practiced concept in the Nigerian banking industry. It is recommended that management of banks in Nigeria should invest in knowledge management activities especially in this time that most economies in the world are knowledge-based.
