Organizations are increasingly adopting Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) to realize firm and operational level benefits. Many KMS fail to yield desired outcomes due to the lack of understanding of the antecedents of successful KMS. Prior studies have established organizational culture as a key antecedent of successful KM. This study investigates the relationship between KMS effectiveness, in ...

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...

Knowledge management (KM) and knowledge management systems (KMS) have been paid much attention by both researchers and practitioners. Yet little is known about the enabling factors in organizational KMS adoption. In this paper, we first review the technology adoption literature at individual and organizational levels to investigate the factors of adoption in a general sense. Then, we specifical...

This paper examines possible shortfalls in the design of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) and proposes a way to design more effective KMS using meta-knowledge. We develop a theoretical framework for identifying the best design features necessary to support effective KM in organizations. We then apply this framework to identify possible weaknesses of 40 KMS in four different categories of tool...

Knowledge management systems (KMS) are increasingly becoming popular and important in managing organizational knowledge. This motivates a closer inspection of the degree of usability of various types of KMS. This paper is an analysis of KMS from a philosophical angle: with the help of veritistic social epistemology we analyze which KMS are likely to be used more in comparison to others. Veritis...

We reported previously the enhanced phosphoinositide metabolism and constitutive activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) in two colorectal carcinoma cell lines, KMS-4 and KMS-8, derived from familial adenomatous polyposis patients. To study the physiological role of enhanced PLC activity in these cells, we analyzed the effect of PLC inhibitor (PCI) peptides on their growth...

Knowledge Management (KM) and Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) have been positioned as strategies and tools that enable organizations to create and transfer knowledge in order to sustain competitive advantage. While Knowledge Management as a strategy was able to gain legitimacy, KMS struggled to prove a causal relationship to knowledge creation and knowledge transfer. KMS contribution to the ...

A key objective of knowledge management system (KMS) implementations is to facilitate job outcomes, such as job performance and job satisfaction. Prior KMS research indicates many KMS implementations have failed to achieve their intended job outcomes, such as job performance and job satisfaction, and one important reason for failure could be that employees do not know how to use a KMS to enhanc...

In the face of heighted competition, organizations need to continuously improve their competitive advantage. Both knowledge management (KM) and knowledge management systems (KMS) play a pivotal role in helping organizations to stay competitive. There is much research in KMS, however very little is known about how they affect individual and organizational performance. Drawing on task-technology ...

In order to solve domain equations over 1-bounded compact metric spaces, xed points of functors on categories of 1-bounded compact metric spaces are studied. Two categories of 1-bounded compact metric spaces are considered: KMS and KMS E. In both categories, objects are isomorphic if and only if they are isometric. As a consequence, provided that the operation of a domain equation can be extend...
