Knowledge Management System was recognized as one of the key enablers in a Knowledge Management initiative. This is because KMS have been prove bring value for Knowledge Management initiatives such as eliminate distance and time barriers. Furthermore KMS also made KM more effective for the organization. As general KMS have two main functions, first managing people interaction and managing infor...

In the prior studies, researchers believe that the fit between KM processes and task characteristics, or the fit between KM processes and KMS capabilities may improve KM performance. Yet little is known about how the fit among task characteristic, KM processes, and KMS capabilities impacts KM performance. This study proposes an extended model by integrating above two different research streams ...

Innovation is considered a major driving force for the prosperity of firms and entire economies. Research suggests that a firm’s capacity to acquire and utilize relevant knowledge from internal and external sources, i.e. its absorptive capacity (ACAP), is decisive for innovation success. But what is the role of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) for a firm’s ACAP and innovativeness? Surprisingl...

The shift from a product-based to a knowledge-based economy has resulted in an increasing demand for organizations to implement knowledge management systems (KMS) at an accelerating pace. However, little attention has been paid to what influences the employees’ intention to use such. This study presented an integrative framework to explore factors affecting employees’ KMS usage behavior, partic...

We present high angular resolution observations toward two massive star forming regions IRAS 18264-1152 and IRAS 23151+5912 with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) in the SiO (J=2-1) and HCO (J=1-0) lines and at 1.3 mm and 3.4 mm continuum, and with the Very Large Array (VLA) in the NH3 (J,K)=(1,1), (2,2) lines. The NH3 (1,1) and (2,2) emission is detected toward IRAS 18264-1152 only. Fo...

Knowledge Management (KM) has been recognized as a critical management strategy in generating competitive advantage for the organization. In order to protect organizational knowledge stored in or transferred through company’s Knowledge Management Systems (KMS), information security controls have to be incorporated into these systems. However, overly strict controls may adversely impact the perc...

This paper seeks to develop a better understanding of job performance in the context of a knowledge management system (KMS) implementation. This work adopts the context theorizing approach that informs the conceptualization of KMS use and identification of contingency factors. Specifically, the literature on rich system use is adapted to develop the construct in the context of a KMS. The litera...

Nowadays, knowledge management system is not doubtful as an important tool in an enterprise business process by reason of the effective knowledge management system can give a competitive advantage. Knowledge management system (KMS) is an information technology (IT) based system, which is developed to support and enhance the processes of knowledge creation, storage or retrieval, transfer, and ap...

AbstrAct This chapter explores knowledge management, KM, and knowledge management system, KMS, success. The inspiration for this chapter is the KM Success and Measurement minitrack held at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences in January of 2007 and 2008. KM and KMS success are issues needing to be explored. The Knowledge Management Foundations workshop held at the Hawaii Inter...
