Abstract
Considering the importance of creation of Knowledge Management Environment in SEE countries, comparable with the EU Environment, trends and situation in EU countries,and the variety of available Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Solutions on the market, it is a difficult and challenging task of deciding what type of ICT solutions to use in support of creation of Knowledge Management Environmentin SEE. This paper aims to research the state of harmonized codification using the Information and Communication Technologies in SEE countries by investigating the role of ICT in creation of the successful Environment for Knowledge Management. Codification of Knowledgeusing information and communication technology (ICT) have made it easier to acquire, store, or disseminate knowledge than ever before, many organizations are employing IT to facilitate sharing and integration of knowledge. SEE countries are being advised that to remain competitive, they must efficiently and effectively create, locate, capture, and share their knowledge and expertise, and have the ability to bring that knowledge to bear on problems and opportunities. SEE countries are showing a serious interest in implementing knowledge management processes and technologies, and are even beginning to adopt knowledge management as part of their overall development strategy. With the codification approach, more explicit and structured knowledge is codified and stored in knowledge bases. Examples of such IT tools are knowledge expert directories and video-conferencing tools. Both these Knowledge Management approaches are fundamental to understanding the importance of ICT in creation of Environment for Knowledge Management. Positive samples will be useful to be implemented within SEE countries, and as an impact, the contribution of the paper will be shown as a possible model of managing and motivating an environment that supports Knowledge Management Environment in SEE countries, through harmonized codification using Information and Communication Technologies.

Summary
While some view knowledge management as merely the current business fad, knowledge lies at the essence of humans as individuals. Firms can derive significant benefits from consciously, actively and aggressively managing their explicit and explicable knowledge Doing this in a coherent manner requires aligning the firm’s organizational and technical resources and capabilities with its knowledge strategy. The name is given to the era as a result of globalization effects, technologic developments, and the role of modern science in human life and demographic characteristics of different nations In this regard, there is currently a compelling debate about the changing nature of business environments and the sources of competitiveness in advanced economies. Researchers have gone from studying the effects of ICT on economic-financial variables to studying its complementarities with intangible resources such as knowledge It is not clear how the relation between IT competency and knowledge management works. Considering the complexity of KM initiatives and the variety of IT solutions available on the market, executives must often confront the challenging task of deciding what type of IT solutions to deploy in support of their initiatives
