This chapter is motivated by one simple question: Why do so many knowledge management systems (KMS) fail when implemented in organizational knowledge work practice? Indeed, imbalance between the desire for accurate content and the workload required to achieve this still appears to be a critical issue, resulting in KMS of little use for organizational members. Hence, KMS maintenance is an import...

The knowledge management system (KMS) has attracted significant attention from researchers and practitioners as a facilitator of better employee performance. However, although companies have implemented KMS, empirical research findings offer inconsistent correlation between employee performance and KMS usage. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the antecedent factors influencing the...

NuCypher KMS is a decentralized Key Management System (KMS) that addresses the limitations of using consensus networks to securely store and manipulate private, encrypted data [1]. It provides encryption and cryptographic access control, performed by a decentralized network, leveraging proxy re-encryption [2]. Unlike centralized KMS as a service solutions, it doesn’t require trusting a service ...

Knowledge management systems (KMS) and intellectual capital (IC) measurement seek to increase the knowledge assets and the knowledge activities that bring competitive advantage to organizations. However, generally KMS ignore the IC measurement. This paper presents a model for linking these issues, showing the contribution of KMS to the IC measurement and their impact to organizations value crea...

The value of the knowledge incorporated in an enterprise is more and more recognized and enterprises are defining knowledge management strategies to capitalize this assets. But up to now there is little methodological support for building, maintaining and using knowledge management systems (KMS). To remedy this we propose an enterprise reference scheme, that can be used to elicitate the require...

It is with great interest for information systems researchers and practitioners regarding the contribution of information technology investment to firm performance. This study focuses on the impact of the implementation of knowledge management systems (KMS) on firm performance. Although many organizations have implemented KMS, there is little empirical evidence of KMS on firm performance. This ...

Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) such as electronic knowledge repositories (EKR) have brought substantial changes to the way organizations leverage their knowledge resources. Despite the importance of KMS, organizations are faced with a challenge to realize the benefits of KMS. One challenging issue that has not been extensively investigated by prior KMS studies is the factors that drive empl...

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pre-treatments (0.1%KMS, 0.2%KMS, 0.3%KMS and blanching) and drying methods (mechanical drying and solar drying) on the dehydration and rehydration characteristics of carrot. The two drying methods yielded dehydrated products with different dehydration ratio, rehydration ratio, co-efficient of reconstitution and moisture content in both the dehy...

This article proposes a framework for assessing knowledge management system (KMS) success models. The framework uses three criteria: how well the model fits actual KMS success factors, the degree to which the model has a theoretical foundation, and if the model can be used for both types of KMSs. The framework is then applied to four KMS success models found in the literature and is determined ...

Knowledge management (KM) has evolved from different disciplines and can be observed from various perspectives. The most important KM perspectives are personal communication and information technology (IT). Most IT companies have renamed their groupware and business intelligence products to fit the KM concept and to further develop them as knowledge management systems (KMS). In fact, they devel...
