Abstract

This paper argues that Knowledge management and sharing is of vital importance to small medium sized enterprise, enabling them to develop skills and competences, increase value, and sustain their competitive advantage. In this study we have investigated the role of information technology as facilitator for knowledge sharing in the organization. The development of KMS, in this center, demands that knowledge be obtained, produced, shared, regulated and leveraged by a steady conglomeration of individuals, processes, information technology applications and a knowledge-sharing organizational culture. Also we present new technology for convenient knowledge sharing as a successful case study in the roads management center. Implications of how this might have been achieved are also provided in this research.
