Keywords 1ABSTRACT
Due to the rapid development of knowledge and information
technology (IT), business environments have become much more
complicated. In order to cope with ensuing complications, enterprises
ought to incessantly innovate otherwise, it will be very difficult for
them to survive in the marketplace. Hence, IT can help a company to
gain a competitive advantage. In addition, many studies have argued
that business value comes mainly from intangible assets, such as
knowledge. Thus, knowledge workers will be able to replace clerical
workers as the new mainstream of manpower resources, a field in
which the development of IT is the major force for change in
knowledge management system (KMS). Therefore, based on the
proposed definition of the six gaps in KMS by Tseng, this study
explores the role and effect of IT in the implementation of KMS
moreover, relationships between KMS and IT are analyzed and
demonstrated by means of the literature reviews, expert interviews
and questionnaire analyses. Finally according to these gaps and
mentioned IT tools for covering them, new conceptual model is
proposed. Based on proposed model and statistical analysis situation
of each gap in the company had been assessed and discussed how to
enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of implementing KMS
through appropriate IT.
