Factors that determine the key characteristics of any knowledge management systems are critical for understanding the phenomena of knowledge management. For this reason that sharing and managing knowledge involves a series of activities that are related to culture, the findings...

Researchers must make numerous choices when conducting factor analyses, each of which can have significant ramifications on the model results. They must decide on an appropriate sample size to achieve accurate parameter estimates and adequate power, a factor model and estimation method, a method for determining the number of factors and evaluating model fit, and a rotation criterion. Unfortunat...
