Knowledge is considered an important resource for organizational existence, firmness, advancement, and enhancement. The purpose of this study is to provide a narrative review of the relationship between knowledge management processes considering knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, and knowledge application through current literature and also provide a future direction. This study follows a narrative literature review of the existing works to compile and scrutinize earlier studies on this ground. The outcome of the study not only showed that knowledge processes directly influence innovation but there are also other organizational variables (e.g., organizational learning, absorptive capacity) that facilitate this association. knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, and knowledge application appear as three central processes that influence innovation. Knowledge acquisition and knowledge sharing are the most often studied knowledge processes. The majority of the sample papers present traditional innovation definitions (product vs process, radical vs incremental, and technical vs administrative). The present paper based on a narrative review includes databases such as Google, Google Scholar, Francis & Taylor, Emeralds, Scopus, SAGE, JSTOR, Springer, and all papers were retained in a Microsoft Excel file. However, the search is only limited to a narrative literature review.
