Knowledge has been increasingly recognized to be a
primary source of organizational survival and
competitiveness. Knowledge management is a
systematic process of managing knowledge assets,
processes, and environment to facilitate the
creation, organization, sharing, utilization, and
measurement of knowledge to achieve the strategic
aims of an organization. ICT offers unprecedented
capacities and potentials for knowledge management.
This book focuses on the role of ICT in support of
effective knowledge management. A knowledge
management framework has been developed for
investigating the dynamics of knowledge objects and
processes, as well as the impact of the internal
knowledge management environment where
organizational, managerial, structural, cultural and
other related elements are intertwined and
interplayed. Based on this framework, empirical
studies have been conducted for testing: (a)
whether ICT enables and facilitates conversions
between knowledge objects and knowledge management
processes, and (b) whether the internal knowledge
management environment impacts the effective
implementation of knowledge management projects.
