Knowledge Management System:

According to Alavi and Leidner(2001), Knowledge Management System is the knowledge based information system that support the Knowledge creation, storing and sharing in an organisation or else where and sharing knowledge to employees and managers throughout a company. Alavi and Leidner (2001)

In my view for an organisation to be success in sharing or mastering KM they need to use the best technology available. Using technology for KM they can share they information with they collogues or they customers or clients in a better mean .

For Example:1) In Customer service centres when they receive any call from customers, they use the technology available to them(Computer) and search for data(Solution) available. If they find any information that is suitable resolves the customer problem they immediately pass this on to them. By this way employees from customer service centre can use the technology(Database, computer or phone) to share the knowledge stored in they systems.


How Does a Knowledge Management System Work?

(The University of Lowa, 12/10/2008)

When I first landed in London for the first time , I was guided by the TV and monitors to the exit. It was very helpful for me at that time which passed some sort of information(Knowledge) through the electronic devices.
