The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of Technology Information (IT) on Knowledge Management Practices (KMP) in Jordanian Industrial Companies (JICs). Practical data were collected from 206 companies out of 1242 companies by means of a questionnaire. Cronbach’s Alpha was used to test reliability, and multiple regressions analysis was employed to test hypotheses. The results of the study indicated that there was a positive significant relationship between information technology and knowledge management practices. Information technology and knowledge management practices are important source of organizations’ wealth and therefore it should be taken into serious consideration when formulating the company's strategy. The results can provide the reference for further researches about the relationship between information technology and knowledge management practices.

Knowledge is the full utilization of information and data, coupled with the potential of people's skills, competencies, ideas, intuitions, commitments and motivations. In today’s new age economy, knowledge is people, money, influence, learning, flexibility, authority and competitive advantage. Knowledge is more significant to sustained business than capital labor or land. Nevertheless, it remains the most ignored asset.

Over the past two decades, knowledge management (KM) and the use of information technologies (IT) has attracted increasing interest. IT is widely considered as a vital part of KM, providing means for knowledge creation, sharing, and capture. However, failures of KM in organizational practice are often attributed to an overemphasis of IT. Although KM and IT seem inextricably linked, research still struggles to identify a proper composition of the two. Via input from a global panel of KM experts from academia and practice (n = 222), we identify social software; consumerization (of knowledge); human factors; and the redesign of work, systems, and practices as future key research areas. These are contrasted with review papers proposing research in technologies aimed at supporting KM. On this basis, we present a future research agenda that should enhance the relationship between KM and IT, including their intersection through technology enablers.

Now a days an organization " s competitive capability is intrinsically tied to the ability to rapidly collaborate with customers and key stakeholders. The knowledge is necessary to drive critical business processes is available where it needs to be, when it needs to be. The different market factors have contributed to the growth of and interest in knowledge management. A major factor in this modification of knowledge is the role technology has played in providing instant access to and dissemination of information. The communication technologies are viewed as tools for creating knowledge as individuals, communities and organizations connect, interact, explore and problem solve together. Consequently, education systems have promoted communication technology as an answer to facilitating learning that is creative and complex and produces new knowledge that is innovative, transformative and transferable. In this paper we address the technological aspect; more precisely we survey available of information technology that support different knowledge management activities. We categorize these tools into classes, based on their capabilities and functionality and show what tasks and knowledge processing operations they support.

Knowledge is a broad and abstract notion that has defined epistemological debate in western philosophy since the classical Greek era. In the past few years, however, there has been a raging interest in treating knowledge as a significant organizational resource. The heightened interest in organizational knowledge and knowledge management stems from the transition into the knowledge economy, where knowledge is viewed as the principle source of value creation and sustainable competitive advantage. Consistent with the growing interest in organizational knowledge and knowledge management (KM), recently IS researchers have been promoting a class of information systems, referred to as knowledge management systems (KMS). The objective of KMS is to support construction, sharing and application of knowledge in organizations. Knowledge and knowledge management are complex and multi-faceted concepts. Thus, effective development and implementation of KMS requires a foundation in several rich literatures.

The abstract should cover the content of the paper. Try to write the abstract in between 150 words. Do not keep references or In this twenty-first century, every organization is striving in a highly dynamic and competitive market. Entrepreneurs are continuously trying to use various maneuvers with a blend of technology to gain competitive advantage. However, only using technology may not help them to a large extent. So they need to discover some innovative way to survive, using the existing resources to gain maximum benefit. Knowledge management has been found to be a better option to achieve competitive advantage. It helps in improve competencies and taking right decision to reduce or minimize the errors. The primary objective of this study is to understand the concept of Knowledge Management and its practices being adopted in Indian IT Industry. The study focuses on exploring the factors influencing the implementation of Knowledge Management and the factors affecting the satisfaction level of employees of IT industry by evaluating various models of Knowledge Management. This study will offer a comprehensive platform for future Knowledge Management research and provides managerial implications for IT companies, to better realize its worth and the possible impediments involved in the processes of adopting, implementing and innovation in Knowledge Management. The findings of the study will be useful to understand and analyze various facets of Knowledge Management as well as to highlight the importance for the continuous growth of businesses in India with the help of exemplifying knowledge management practices conducted in IT industry of India.

Management (IM)? To provide some answers to this question, the article summarizes empirical evidence of how KM is practiced in several types of organizations demonstrating the variety of organizational approaches that are used and the processes that are involved. Based on an exploratory study of KM practices, the article presents a typology of methodologies that are employed in various organizations to illustrate what may be considered as the particular nature of KM to show potential differences with IM. The first section of the article discusses the concepts associated with the management of information and knowledge. The second part provides a description of the conceptual framework used for the study and a presentation and discussion of the results.

While various organizations have invested in knowledge management (KM), it is not part of day-to-day business. Technology plays a major role in KM, aiding in the creation, transfer, sharing and storage of knowledge, making it an integral part of KM processes. technology's involvement in KM and how it can contribute effectively to the KM objectives of the implementing organization. However, there is a lack of depth in the implementations for KM. Most of the there is a weak foundation upon which KM is built. The theoretical framework for technological use in KM is not solidly developed, resulting in an unstructured approach towards This is as a result of the inter-disciplinary nature of KM, which has led to academics concentrating more on certain disciplines contributing to KM, such as management and social aspects of KM, while disciplines information technology (IT) have not received adequate attention and review. There is therefore need to analyze the issues that are of signific...
