Abstract

Formulation of knowledge management system (KMS) is significance to support knowledge management activities within organizations; moreover, information technology has become the driving factors for business strategies and directions. In the past studies, the focus of KMS establishment are diverse; ranging from its successful adoption, perceived usefulness of the users or on its supporting roles in organization strategy to improve their performance and smooth operations. Despite its benefits to the organization, however, gap has been identified on the lack of existence and definition of KMS framework at the organizational level studied by other researchers. Thus, the objective of this study is to formulate the KMS framework at the organizational level known as OKMS (organization-based knowledge management system). This study is performed by methodologically conducting a review and analysis of the past literature and related areas of concern on establishment of KMS. Outcome of this study will not only help to motivate for other future empirical and theoretical research for KMS at the organization level, but, it also provide a departing point for other KMS researches establishment for organizations.
