This thesis deals with knowledge management at companies in the Falun-Borlänge region. The purpose is to create better understanding of which path companies have chosen and why, respectively. A qualitative survey seeks to discover if companies have chosen IT track or people track. This is a practical and useful model for an evaluative study. In the same context, a number of important models for evaluating knowledge management are presented. The result shows that the companies provide a multitude of training within several frameworks. Education is mostly provided in a traditional manner but there are many examples of interactive state-of-the-art training. Furthermore, most of the companies primarily focus upon people and processes, but some focus at technical facilities as well.
