This research paper aims to
systematically explore the knowledge management and knowledge management system
through technology by performing a rigorous and computer assisted review. The
research attempts to further the understanding of issued and innovations
related to knowledge management in organizations and helps us see the future avenues
in this field. The key contribution of this research is its computer based
qualitative content analysis across genres to attain the above objectives. The
finding of the study suggests that Knowledge Management is spread across three
factors namely, 1) Knowledge acquisition,2) Knowledge application, and 3) Knowledge storage. These three factors are linked to IT platform or
technology then it leads to dissemination, awareness, accessibility etc of the
Knowledge.
