The following article seeks to reveal the multidirectional relations between knowledge management strategy and various types of organisational culture. The correlation between these two factors is difficult to qualify as it is both positive, insofar as it leads to synergy, but also negative, as the factors restrict one another. Moreover, a given type of organisational culture may influence individual aspects of knowledge management in a different way, promoting selected components at the expense of others. The main conclusion from research cited in this article is that there is no one, ideal organisational culture type, implicating effective knowledge management. Thus a necessary condition for proper implementation of strategy discussed in this paper is the creation of informal organisational culture based on knowledge workers. The form of this new type of culture would be independent and more primitive in comparison to the formally existing organisational culture in a company.
