Knowledge Management Success
نویسنده
چکیده
Welcome to the second issue of the third volume! This issue presents six articles with the primary focus on knowledge management (KM), measurement, and success. Asoh, Belardo, and Crnkovic (article I) present a cross validation of the KM Index, a metric used to determine the degree an organization is implementing KM. Rhoads, O’Sullivan, and Stankosky (article II) explore factors that affect successful implementation of KM in U.S. federal agencies. Laframboise, Croteau, Beaudry, and Manovas (article III) explore knowledge transfer success during information technology (IT) projects. Vitari, Moro, Ravarini, and Bourdon (article IV) explore the role of influence in user acceptance of a KM System (KMS). Kautz and Kjærgaard (article V) propose an integrated model of knowledge transfer during the software development process. Finally, Balmisse, Meingan, and Passerini (article VI) summarize various types of KM tools available to practitioners and look at potential technology trends. This editorial explores KM and KMS success. The inspiration for this editorial is the KM Success and Measurement minitrack held at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences in January of 2007. KM and KMS success is an issue needing to be explored. The KM Foundations Workshop, held at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-39), in January 2006, discussed this issue and reached agreement that it is important for the credibility of the KM discipline to be able to define KM success. Additionally, from the perspective of KM academics and practitioners, identifying the factors, constructs, and variables that define KM success is crucial to understanding how these initiatives and systems should be designed and implemented. It is the purpose of this editorial to initiate discussion on this topic and present results of a survey looking at how KM practitioners, academics, and students view what constitutes KM success. The editorial presents some background on KM success and then a series of perspectives on KM/KMS success. These perspectives were derived by looking at responses to questions asking academics and practitioners how they defined KM/KMS success. The editorial then concludes by presenting the preliminary results of an exploratory survey on KM/KMS success, beliefs, and attitudes. It is hoped that this editorial will begin the debate that will lead to a consensus definition of KM/KMS success.
