Abstract

One of the most important issues that the country is faced with, is resistive economic, which seeks retrofit and restoration of old and inefficient infrastructures and institutions of the country. One of the ways to achieve this plan, is to ignore the economy which is based on incomes of selling raw materials and natural resources. And this will be possible only through developing knowledge and technology. Thus, we need public attitude to knowledge based economy and implementation of knowledge management in our organizations.
In this study, the effect of the knowledge management processes on resistive economy has been studied in Ansar Bank. Data were collected through a questionnaire with 34 questions which is asked among 84 experts and staff of Ansar bank  that were familiar with knowledge management and resistive economy. The model is presented by using structural equation modeling (PLS) and has been tested and interpreted by Smart PLS software. Test results show that knowledge management has a significant and positive impact on the resistive economy, and the Organization by investment in knowledge management can indirectly help the country achieves resistive economic.
