This study was conducted to examine the contribution that a knowledge management system (KMS) makes to individual learning in an organizational setting. Open-ended survey questions were used to collect data to help us understand user perceived system quality, information quality, and organizational conditions, which are believed to enhance the degree of KMS use in the respondents’ organizationa...

This is a longitudinal case study that explored the relationship between use of organizational memory, knowledge, knowledge management, and knowledge worker productivity within the engineering group at a nuclear power plant. Three data points were taken over five years. The group used a Knowledge Management System (KMS) and it was found that the system improved effectiveness/productivity of the...

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 ...

Based on the literature on decision support systems, we develop propositions about the appropriateness of knowledge management system (KMS) designs for different organizational knowledge processing challenges. An exploratory field experiment is conducted in the context of Internet-based online knowledge sharing services to provide empirical support for our propositions. The results of our exper...

Supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 69 is morphologically characterized by brightened radio, infrared, and X-ray emission on the southeastern rim, with the 1720 MHz OH masers detected in the northeastern and southeastern regions at various local standard rest (LSR) velocities. We have performed a millimeter observation in CO and HCO lines toward Kes 69. From the northeastern compact maser region, CO an...

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...

Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) are typically built with a departmental focus, making it difficult to share and utilize knowledge across departmental boundaries. Integrating such " knowledge pockets " into a knowledge network requires resolving structural differences and coordinating both knowledge processes and software components. Here we identify a set of coordination requirements for the...

The health care industry is increasingly becoming a knowledge-based community that depends critically on knowledge management (KM) activities to improve the quality of care. Utilizing knowledge management systems (KMS) to manage medical information and health care knowledge to support the full spectrum of knowledge needs in the nursing process has become an important issue for nursing professio...

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...

Dear Editor, Angiosarcoma is a rare tumour commonly affecting elderly men, usually occurring on the head and neck region.1 The tumour usually presents as ecchymosis-like plaques, and less commonly with haemorrhage, oedema, ulceration and recurrent facial angioedema. Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) may occur in association with a vascular tumour and is characterised by consumption of platelets a...
