The Global Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise (MAKE) Award is an international benchmark of best practice knowledge management. This prestigious international award was launched in 1998 and sought to recognize organizations which out-perform their peers in creating stakeholders values by practising knowledge management and intellectual capital management. The launch of the MAKE Award provides a platform for enterprises to benchmark their KM performance with organizations locally, regionally and globally. It also encourages local organizations to start their KM journey. Through participation, an organization needs to analyze its strengths and weaknesses against the eight assessment criteria and strives to make improvement. As a result, its productivity, competitiveness and sustainability can be enhanced. The success stories of these awardees are invaluable for enterprises which aim to embark on a corporate KM journey, or continue to flourish from existing KM implementation.
