Abstract

This paper details research conducted in the area of knowledge management implementation strategies. An investigation of the literature reveals that when organisations initiate a knowledge management effort, most of them tend to over-emphasise the role of information technology at the expense of the human factor. A preliminary survey of local organisations using Duffy's Knowledge Management Benchmarking Questionnaire confirms these findings, and a framework which will address the shortcomings in current knowledge management implementation strategies is proposed. An empirical study testing the validity of the framework is described, and the study concludes that the proposed framework has displayed its validity.
