  abstract = {Today’s knowledge organizations appear to be everywhere around us, but still there is no precise way to express whether an organization is knowledge-based or not or just how much is it knowledge- centered. Qualitative models are not enough anymore, so the purpose of this article is to search for a quantitative method of describing this type of organizations. Based on ten certain characteristics that are recognized in the literature as being found in a knowledge organization, we used the Principal Component Analysis and summarized these features so as to give a concrete and effective response to the question: "Which organization is closest to the stage of a knowledge organization?". The result lead to the definition of new synthetic indicators, which can be used precisely for the description of knowledge organizations and also for the hierarchization of a number of companies, starting from basic criteria referring to economic performance, flexibility, innovation, rate of informatization in the company, dedication to continuous learning, as well as intellectual capital. If today we look at the workers’s productivity or at the market share as basic indicators in a company, tomorrow we might be studying the indicators presented in this work.},
