Abstract

The main purpose of the study is analyzing the gap between knowledge sharing and knowledge application. This applied study has taken on Iran milk industries - Pegah Gilan company by fuzzy approach. In this study, Cronbach's alpha is used to check the reliability and the Content Analysis Method is used to check the validity. The innovative aspects of the research are using fuzzy logic to measure the gap between knowledge sharing and knowledge application and offering appropriate solutions to reduce the gap and to increase the level of knowledge sharing and applying knowledge. Based on the results, the gap between knowledge sharing and applying knowledge in the organization is minimal and is less than 10 percent. Other findings indicate a moderate level of sharing and application of knowledge in the organization.
