Much research argues that information technology can have a positive influence on knowledge application. However, practical results from research on knowledge management systems indicate that such systems often fail when implemented in contemporary organisations. Whilst maintenance of knowledge management systems has been recognised as an important research area, imbalance between additional wo...

Use of the term knowledge management varies depending on the context. In this paper we will investigate its use in relation to research output in universities. Universities need to keep track of their research and to note what research papers have been written, the topic of the research, who collaborated in the writing and where the research was published. To collate and store this data some ty...

Scholars have studied the critical factors that affect the intentions behind knowledge sharing. However, an individual who is satisfied with those factors doesn’t necessarily do so. When he/she considers whether to share or not, he/she usually calculates the losses and gains based on the level of perceived value of knowledge. With inclusion of the perceived value of knowledge, it has been found...

In 2006, the Government Department participating in this study deployed its Knowledge Management System (KMS): this case study describes the lessons learned by this public sector organisation in its journey towards becoming a knowledge organisation. Extant research on the implementation of KMS in organisations operating in the private sector posits a range of factors that are correlated with su...

The impact of knowledge management systems on organizational performance continues to be an under researched area. What complicates the area of knowledge management is the lack of understanding about the concept of knowledge. This paper focuses on knowledge to tease out the differences between information and knowledge as used by information systems. The thrust of the paper is to develop a mode...
