Then, the parameters of financial performances including four ratios of liquidity, profitability, activity and leverage for these companies were analyzed for 3 years before and after privatization. The results showed that the privatization of companies subjecting to Article 44 of the constitution had significant effects on their usage of knowledge management, so that the majority of knowledge management parameters for privatized companies subjecting to Article 44 of the Constitution have been improved.
