Abstract

There are academic signals for the development of knowledge management models based on the holistic paradigm. Mutuwa and Maiga affirm that there is no unifying model for the health sector, which allows to infer that the model of these authors is proposed to reach this achievement. Thus, this research is justified by the objective of analyzing the adherence of the model of Mutuwa and Maiga to Holistic Knowledge Management, in order to identify if this model bridged the gap of a unifying structure for this sector. This analysis is performed by means of mixed methodological procedures, including qualitative-quantitative approach and Content Analysis. As a result, the model of Mutuwa and Maiga adheres in 15.4% to the Holistic Knowledge Management, according to the characterization presented in this research, allowing to infer that Knowledge Management has not presented a direction towards a holistic paradigm-oriented approach. Thus, this research contributes to foster the development of new models of knowledge management based on the holistic paradigm, considering the designs presented here.
