For these two variables also the test significant number is equal to 0.000 and is smaller than<br />

the level of 0.50, therefore zero assumption is rejected and according to positive two upper<br />

and lower bounds, the average value is greater than 3 ( ), so in terms of experts,<br />

culture and IT are considered as an effective factor of the KMTH too.<br />

Conclusion<br />

Today Town Health (TH) is a complex and sophisticated term roots not only in physical,<br />

emotional, mental and spiritual human needs but in social and global needs. In this <strong>paper</strong>,<br />

the Model of KM for TH (KMTH) is introduced. This model is verified by a survey<br />

performed in a population of 95 who are mainly experts of KM and town Health in Iran.<br />

are committed to advancing the state of knowledge management, but in a decentralized<br />

company like HP it is not clear what steps should be taken. They discuss whether there are<br />

actions they could take beyond facilitating the Knowledge Management Workshop. They<br />

feel that knowledge is already exchanged well within work groups and even business units,<br />

but there is little support in the culture for sharing across units. However, for ISST to try to<br />

change the culture just for the purpose of knowledge management seems like the tail<br />

wagging the dog. The most effective way to create a knowledge sharing culture – is first to<br />

start to practice it at your level. The higher up the organization the more effective you will<br />

be in changing the culture but even if you are low down the hierarchy – you have an<br />

influence. Second, put in place the knowledge sharing technology and train and educate<br />

people in its effective use. The two together – people with the appropriate knowledge<br />

sharing mindset and the appropriate knowledge sharing technology to support them will<br />

rapidly bring about a knowledge sharing culture that helps you better meet your business<br />

objectives. Managing knowledge in organizations will lead to a variety of new problems<br />

and issues. And this type of initiative will face resistance. Knowledge management runs<br />

counter to the direction of American society; we prefer television to books, intuition to<br />

research, pragmatists to theorists. The serious pursuit of knowledge in organizations will be<br />

challenged by an anti-intellectual orientation in the US that has been present since the days<br />

of the frontier.<br />
