Abstract
In order to reveal the relationship between hierarchical authority and knowledge authority, the most important issues of management, authority, power and influence are examined in the examination of the concepts. Unfortunately, apart from the issue of authority, issues of power, power and influence are among the most neglected issues of management and organization. The subject of authority is generally dealt with in the context of the organization. However, the management application is completely related to the use of power. Authority is only one type of power use. It can be said that the main difference between knowledge and hierarchical authority is the structure of the organization. As organizations become more complex in the information age, the problems that managers have to solve have become more complex. In addition, knowledge-based parameters have increased in management processes. It is not possible for a single manager to solve all the problems under the most optimum solution. Because today, one of the important powers of the rulers, and perhaps the information as a source of authority should be to benefit from.
