Purpose The potential for the adoption of a knowledge management system (KMS) is becoming a crucial matter in small and medium enterprises (SMEs); however, there is a scarcity of studies related to KMS adoption in SMEs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to advance further our understanding of the factors that influence the KMS adoption process among SMEs. Design/methodology/approach The collected sample size was 247 respondents. For statistical analysis, Smart partial least square (PLS) (a structural model-based tool) was used to build, run and validate the process model. PLS regression techniques were used to analyze the latent constructs. Smart PLS exhibits both the measurement model and the structural model. Findings The results indicate that knowledge management capabilities, knowledge sharing, organizational learning capabilities and IT capabilities are the significant factors which influence KMS adoption. This study also identifies some unexpected results. Research limitations/implications The number of responses obtained from the survey was rather small. However, a larger number of responses would probably have resulted in a more accurate finding. Additionally, this study should be verified via a larger sample to increase its generalization. Practical implications The result of this study will provide SMEs with valuable guidelines to better understand what factors should be considered as highly important and thus providing decision makers and managers with valuable insights to increase the adoption level of KMSs. Originality/value The study addresses the research gap by developing and empirically validating a research model of KMS adoption from a different perspective that incorporates critical issues which have never been simultaneously examined.

A tudásmenedzsment-rendszerek kiépítése és működtetése egyre népszerűbb vállalati cél. A legnagyobb igyekezet ellenére is kudarccal végződhet egy ilyen változás megvalósítása, ha a szükséges feltételek nélkül próbálkozunk ezzel a beavatkozással a szervezet életében. Az egyik legfontosabb előfeltétel a bizalomra, közös tanulásra, fejlődésre épülő, nyitott szervezeti kultúra, mely a tanulószervezeti jellemzőkkel írható le. A szerzők kutatásukban arra voltak kíváncsiak, milyen elképzeléseik, vágyaik vannak a felsőoktatásban oktató kollégáknak az ideálisnak nevezett szervezeti kultúráról. Ezeket az elképzeléseket egy külső tanácsadó cég által végzett kérdőíves felmérésen alapuló vizsgálat segítségével tudták meg, melynek kiértékelésére a circumplex-módszer szolgált. Az eredményeket összevetették a tanulószervezeti jellemzőkkel, vizsgálva azt a hipotézist, miszerint az oktató kollégák tudat alatt is olyan ideális szervezetet képzelnek el, mely a tanulószervezeti kultúra jellemzőivel azonos. _________ To create and to operate a knowledge management system is becoming a more and more popular target of the companies. Realizing the changes above can result in a failure – in spite of the biggest will – if organizations lack certain prerequisites which are necessary in companies’ lives. One of the most important prerequisites is organizational culture which can be characterized by confidence, common learning, development and open atmosphere. This is called a learning organizational culture. In their research the authors would have liked to know what kind of dreams the colleagues have about their own organizational culture. They achieve these results from an investigation with questionnaires which were realized by an advisory team. To evaluating the results of this investigation circumplex method was used. These results were compared with the characteristics of learning organization to confirm our hypothesis. According to this idea colleagues have the same images about their successful organization as the characteristics of learning organizations.

This research study aims at developing a knowledge management system to enhance Jordanian Banks Performance. The authors developed the system by examining three variables: knowledge processes, knowledge perspectives, and a balanced scorecard. The research sample included all 327 bank employees (directors, general directors, deputies, assistant managers & chairpersons) working in six commercial and Islamic-commercial Jordanian banks, from which 193 completed the study questionnaire. AMOS software was used to treat and organize the collected data. Path analysis proved that the optimal study model excludes the process of knowledge diagnose from knowledge processes, and considers organizational culture perspective as the best moderating variable through which the system can be applied in Jordanian banks. There is a difference in the effect level of the knowledge management system to enhance performance in the Jordanian commercial and Islamic banks. The obtained results indicate that there is a strong relationship between information technology, knowledge management, and high business values. Banks managements were not keen to share knowledge with universities and research centers. They depended on existing knowledge, developed knowledge by experiments, or borrowed it from other financial institutions. This study confirmed that knowledge management practice contributes to increasing efficacy and experience, contributing in turn to enhancing human capital in knowledge-intensive business services in Spain. Knowledge management use in Jordan banks increased employee’s satisfaction toward using operating business and the quality of knowledge obtained. As a result, banking services and trust in banks increased. Based on the research results, it is recommended that banks managements develop, equip, and update bank systems, recruit professional employees, and seek experts and researcher’s assistance in this regard. Banks managements should adopt models that replace a diagnosis from the knowledge processes with organizational culture. Besides, management should develop banking knowledge and pay attention to other knowledge management processes. Keywords: knowledge processes, knowledge perspectives, balanced scorecard.

Abstract Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) have a strategic role in development and have chosen as the main work program of the government. In order to compete, the SMEs must make technology as the main supporting infrastructure for UMKM activities. The importance of knowledge as a strategic asset in UMKM encourages the need for a knowledge management system (KMS). Knowledge and experience are sustainable resources as competitive advantages. Therefore, it is necessary to build a Knowledge Management System information system that is used to store and utilize the knowledge possessed to find solutions to problems that should be addressed by UMKM. The KMS will help UMKM to share their experiences and knowledge. User Centered Design (UCD) is the method chosen because each stage involves the UMKM Diskop and the UMKM users. Through the use of mobile technology, that is widely used by the community, an android-based knowledge management system was created to support the development of UMKM in the city of Bekasi.   Keywords:  Business Actors, Knowledge Management, SMEs, System Design, UCD   Abstrak   Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) mempunyai peranan strategis terhadap pembangunan, sehingga dijadikan program kerja utama pemerintah. Agar dapat bersaing para pelaku UMKM harus menjadikan teknologi sebagai infrastruktur pendukung utama kegiatan UMKM. Pentingnya pengetahuan sebagai aset strategis di UMKM mendorong dibutuhkannya sistem manajemen pengetahuan (Knowledge Management System). Knowledge dan pengalaman merupakan sumber daya yang berkelanjutan (sustainable resources) sebagai daya saing kompetitif (competitive advantages). Oleh karena itu perlunya membangun sistem informasi Knowledge Management System (KMS) yang digunakan untuk menyimpan dan memanfaatkan knowledge yang dimiliki untuk menemukan solusi dari masalah yang di hadapi UMKM. KMS yang dibuat akan membantu pelaku UMKM untuk berbagi pengalaman maupun pengetahuan yang dimiliki. User Centered Design (UCD) merupakan metode yang dipilih karena setiap tahapannya melibatkan Diskop UMKM dan pelaku UMKM sebagai user. Melalui pemanfaatan mobile teknologi yang banyak digunakan masyarakat, maka dibuat sistem pengelolaan pengetahuan berupa KMS berbasis Android yang mendukung kegiatan perkembangan UMKM kota Bekasi.   Kata kunci: Desain Sistem, Knowledge Management, Pelaku Usaha, UCD, UMKM

AbstractAlthough, the knowledge management (KM)-culture research has helped to validate the importance of cultural values for companies' KM initiatives and provided insights into some important values, it still lacks frameworks and analysis outlining how specific types of cultural values might relate to Knowledge Management system (KMS) adoption and subsequent outcomes. In this paper, we provide a three-dimensional framework to help managers articulate how culture affects their unit's ability to create, transfer, and apply knowledge through KMS use. To illustrate the application of the framework, we also present an exploratory case study we have performed in an international organization in the area of development assistance and capacity development.
