Organisation need to perform a knowledge-based SWOT analysis, gap analysis, difference between existing knowledge with its strategic requirements and a cost benefit analysis. Next, performing knowledge assessment and audit. It determines the strength and weakness of the organisation and examines the assets such as source and location. The approach is followed by performing Information Technology (IT) assessment. It should be conducted on three diagnostic areas which is IT assets, IT management process and IT investment performance to examine the spending profiles and its impacts. The fifth approach is developing project plan and measurement systems. It is based on the results of the knowledge, audit and technology assessment carried out that answers the questions of what, why, where, when and how. Those recommendation can help organisation to manage knowledge that are available

A report has been written describing the knowledge management systems and reviewed based on various aspects which was used to determine whether or not the system considered could be used for managing knowledge. It was through researching journals, articles and other reliable sources from the internet this review was written which led to me finding out more on the topic of knowledge management which has considerably increased my understanding of the topic

Many people at NASA and within the knowledge management community contributed the ideas set forth in this document. We are grateful for their comments and support.

The objective of this report is to make a comparison between two different approaches of knowledge management. The comparison will be talked about after applying the two approaches in the case study. This case study analyses the results of applying a new technology- Wiki based KMS on 6

“Nautes was funded under the impulse of the vision of its founders. In 2001, we strongly believed that the knowledge management software industry could be vigorously innovated by simplifying interfaces and processes, and just because of this idea we started our business.

It would also spot the current benefits and problems associated with knowledge management and lastly what benefits and problems might be seen in future with respect to knowledge management at Infosys.

In the early 2000s, the Ontario Ministry of Education contracted IBM in order to find a solution to its poor knowledge management. As a result, Kathryn Everest, a knowledge management consultant at IBM Canada, developed three options that would be beneficial to the organization and possibly resolve the problems. The three alternatives included implementing document management, cultivating communities of practice and creation of an expert directory. After much time spent determining which option, or combination of

The essential problem in managing structured knowledge is creating an appropriate classification scheme to organize information into meaningful categories in a knowledge database that can be easily accessed by employees. Once the categories for classifying knowledge have been created, each document needs to be "tagged," or coded, so that search engines can retrieve

On the opposite view in the second part，Recent studies suggest that knowledge sharing can be advanced through bridging both KM and HRM fields (Oltra, 2005).The author’s conclusion is that in order to achieve efficient knowledge management organization system, organization should do the argument depend on the dubious and gratuitous assumption that KM- HRM practices bring positive affect on the organization. However the mere fact does not necessary represent that sharing knowledge based on the combination of KM and HRM practices. Thus, given these possible scenarios, the fact is Knowledge management- related human resources (HR) do come into extensive, proves nothing about knowledge sharing could be advanced. Meanwhile, the results suggest that collaborative human resource management practices have a direct positive effect on employees’ knowledge sharing behavior (Iqbal, Toulson & Tweed, 2015). Surprisingly, the authors find that employees’ knowledge sharing behavior is independent of reward systems and employees’ recognition.

Knowledge base creation and maintenance requires much effort with a heavy human intervention. A special care must be taken in order to ensure the quality and consistency of the knowledge base.

Hewlett Packard (HP) is a leading multinational organization providing products and services in many IT related technologies such as computer hardware and software, printers, scanners, storage devices etc. In 1995, the company decided to introduce knowledge management in its organization that will make its systems, processes, outcomes superior with organized and systematic knowledge handling and storage.
