| Summary: | Knowledge management (KM) is becoming an important management responsibility as
organizations increasingly invest significant information technology (IT) resources to
support acquisition, storage, sharing, and retrieval of knowledge. Furthermore, KM
plays a critical role in organizations that rely primarily on intellectual capital, such as
software development companies. In this paper, we report the findings of an exploratory
study where we investigate the KM practices of eight leading software consultancy
companies in India and compare our findings with results from a similar study by Alavi
and Leidner (1999). Finally, we suggest a technical and social infrastructure to help
enhance KM capability of software development companies in India. |
