Were taken as the dimensions of knowledge management, creation, storage and transfer and the application and use of knowledge. Information acquisition, dissemination and interpretation of this shared, were used as measures for the creation of knowledge. Have also been used as measures of implementation and use of knowledge, empowerment, teamwork and commitment to knowledge. As dimensions of the results have been used operating results, financial and innovation. The methodology used is based on case study, through primary and secondary data.
