Abstract

The utilisation of technology has been one of the most important factors in facilitating organisations in the management of knowledge (Davenport and Prusak 2000). Knowledge management systems (KMS) based on electronic knowledge repositories have enabled the development and implementation of knowledge management initiatives in organizations whose economic focus is on exploiting existing organizational resources and capabilities in order to sustain competitive advantage.This paper describes the important role of technology, in the form of knowledge based systems, as a) enablers of knowledge creation, storage, transfer and re-use in organizations, using a codification strategy and b) facilitating communication between experts, using a personalisation approach. It also introduces a current ongoing study into the perception of KM and KMS among IT professionals in Ireland.
