“The emergence of the knowledge society, building on the pervasive influence of
modern information and communication technologies, is bringing about a fundamental
reshaping of the global economy. What is underway is a transformation of our
economy and society.”
“Knowledge has become the key resource. Knowledge has value, but so too does
knowledge about knowledge. Creating value is about creating new knowledge and
capturing its value. The most important property is now intellectual property, not
physical property. And it is the hearts and minds of people, rather than traditional
labour that are essential to growth and prosperity.”
(O’Hare, 2002)

Introduction

Basically, knowledge management (KM) comprises a range of practices used by organization to identify, create, represent, and distribute knowledge. In KM, Information System (IS) is emphasized to share and distribute knowledge. IS is the integration of hardware, software, infrastructure, and trained personnel to facilitate planning, control, coordination, and decision making. As technology is getting advance nowadays, knowledge sharing becomes more convenient. Some communication tools such as telephone, online messenger, social network, bulletin, and newspaper etc helps us to disseminate and share knowledge in short time and wide range. Therefore, some Information Technology and Information System (IT & IS) related issues are also embedded in KM.
