Abstract:
To effectively manage organizational knowledge to promote innovative practice and gain sustainable competitive advantage, there is a need for a system called Knowledge Management System (KMS). This system helps to enhance the organizational process of knowledge creation, storage, retrieval, transfer and application. With the explosive growth of interest in knowledge management, different KMS frameworks have been produced by various researchers for successful implementation of knowledge initiatives. However, it was observed that, the existing frameworks do not provide a complete and generalized framework for designing of knowledge management system by defining the key fundamental attributes of KMS and their inter-relationships. This paper reviews the existing frameworks for designing KMS with the view to improving them by developing a more comprehensive integrated framework from a multi-dimensional approach by incorporating, extending and aggregating attributes that are already available either from academic, theoretical approaches as well as from applied practitioner–like approaches in knowledge management efforts. The development of this framework is based on the analysis of five selected KMS frameworks on which an initial integrated framework for designing KMS is proposed.
