dc.description.abstractThis study examines the effect of knowledge management on entrepreneurs and business organizations in Nigeria. The increasing importance of knowledge as a strategic resource has made knowledge management a critical factor for improving organizational performance, innovation, and competitiveness. The study adopted a descriptive research design supported by systematic literature review and survey method. Primary data were collected from 182 respondents comprising entrepreneurs, managers, and employees of selected Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria, while secondary data were obtained from relevant literature published between 2020 and 2025. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis to determine the relationship between knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, knowledge application, and business performance. The findings revealed that knowledge acquisition is highly practiced among Nigerian business organizations, while knowledge sharing and knowledge application are moderately implemented. Regression results further indicated that all dimensions of knowledge management have a significant positive effect on organizational performance, with knowledge application exerting the strongest influence. The literature review also confirmed that effective knowledge management enhances innovation, productivity, and sustainable business growth, although its implementation is constrained by weak infrastructure, limited digital adoption, and inadequate knowledge-sharing culture. The study concludes that knowledge management is a key determinant of entrepreneurial and organizational success in Nigeria. It recommends strengthening knowledge-sharing culture, improving digital knowledge systems, and enhancing capacity-building programs to fully harness the benefits of knowledge management for sustainable business performance
