The purpose of the study was to establish which of (i) age (ii) gender and (iii) organizational culture is a correlate of use of knowledge management systems (KMS) among teachers, senior administrators and postgraduate students in Makerere University. The study was a co-relational and crosssectional survey biased to the quantitative approach, involving 444 respondents from the University, from ...

This empirical study was carried out to investigate the impact of ICT-based knowledge management systems (KMS) of varying sophistication on decision support in varying decision contexts. The results indicate that the positive impact of KMS sophistication was limited to simple decision contexts only. In simple contexts, the availability of more sophisticated KMS led to more intensive balanced us...

Nowadays we are living an era which is marked by efforts for originality, innovation, collaboration, accumulation of experience and integration with and through many inventions such as computers, the internet, and technologies that have facilitated knowledge sharing and communication among people. This research seeks to extend the existing literature on KMS and knowledge sharing by proposing a ...

Knowledge management system (KMS) is crucial for organization knowledge management. In order to help the evaluation and selection of KMS from the user’s perspective, a new multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) method combining quality function deployment (QFD) with technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) in intuitionistic fuzzy environment is proposed. In t...

Ever since man first shared the knowledge of how to make fire with his fellow human beings, the management of knowledge has been employed by masters training their apprentices and by parents teaching their children. Managing knowledge is hence no new phenomenon. In recent years, however, the importance of knowledge in business and industry has risen dramatically, and shifted from being one reso...

This article depicts the idea of service based Knowledge Management and introduces a method to design an Enterprise Knowledge Management System (E-KMS). We assume that each organisation already uses an E-KMS but only few organisations are aware of it and even less organisations design their E-KMS properly to manage their internal processes. These internal processes of an E-KMS are seen as Knowl...

Hepatic angiosarcoma is a mesenchymal tumor originating from liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. It is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm accounting for less than 1% of primary malignant liver tumors. The deregulated coagulopathy that can be seen in hepatic angiosarcoma fulfills the clinical diagnostic criteria of disseminated intravascular coagulation. However, the mechanism that governs thi...

This article discusses system use as a measure of knowledge management success. It is proposed that for knowledge management systems (KMS) it is not the amount of use that is important, but rather the quality of that use and the intention to use the KMS when appropriate. Evidence is provided to support this proposition and a knowledge management system success model incorporating this propositi...
