The study’s objective is to arrive at a theoretical model and framework to guide research into the implementation of KMS, while also seeking to inform practice. In order to achieve this, the paper applies the critical success factors (CSF) method in a field study of successful KMS implementations across 12 large multinational organisations operating in a range of sectors. The paper first generates a ‘collective set’ of CSFs from extant research to construct an a priori model and framework: this is then empirically validated and extended using the field study findings to arrive at a ‘collective set’ of CSFs for all 12 organisations. These are then employed to refine and extend the theoretical model using insights from the literature on capability theory. It is hoped that the model and framework will aid theory building and future empirical research on this highly important and relevant topic.

<p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><em>This study discusses the Implementation of Knowledge Management System (KMS) at the National Savings Bank (BTN) in South Sumatra, as a government bank. Given the role of banks in the economy and the extraordinary level of competition. This research is expected to be a reference in implementing KMS in banking.</em><em> </em><em>Banks need KMS to run business processes in the application of expertise in organizations, because KMS is able to improve the bank's core competencies. KMS acts as a liaison in the knowledge provider to broaden and deepen knowledge, contribute to overcoming competition between banks in raising funds to create forms of innovative product services provided to the public.</em><em> </em><em>This research is to identify the implementation of KMS in the organization, so it can be seen the success factors of KMS in banking institutions. Data collected by questionnaire, then made a research model. The survey results revealed that the KMS model suitable for use as a reference model for KMS implementation in BTN South Sumatra was influenced by factors, namely KM; organizational factors measurement objectives / specific strategies and leadership support, information technology and service innovation to consumers.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>:</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><em>Implementation KMS, KMS on Banking, KMS Success Factors</em></p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p><em>Penelitian ini membahas Implementasi Knowledge Management System (KMS) di Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) di Sumatera Selatan, sebagai Bank pemerintah.

KMS bertindak sebagai penghubung dalam penyedia pengetahuan untuk memperluas dan memperdalam pengetahuan, berkontribusi untuk mengatasi persaingan antara bank dalam mengumpulkan dana untuk menciptakan bentuk-bentuk layanan produk inovatif yang disediakan untuk publik.</em><em> </em><em>Penelitian ini untuk mengidentifikasi implementasi KMS dalam organisasi, sehingga dapat dilihat faktor keberhasilan KMS di lembaga perbankan.

This article proposes a framework for assessing knowledge management system (KMS) success models. The framework uses three criteria: how well the model fits actual KMS success factors, the degree to which the model has a theoretical foundation, and if the model can be used for both types of KMSs. The framework is then applied to four KMS success models found in the literature and is determined to be a useful framework for assessing KMS success models.

What does it take to build a successful knowledge management system (KMS)? Knowing the essential success factors is useful as it provides researchers and practitioners with the basic requirements for building a successful KMS. Also, if we take a Churchman (1979) view of systems, it can be argued that determining KMS success factors will also help us determine KM initiative success factors as Churchman found it difficult to separate the system from the process requiring the system. However, what is KM or KMS success? The literature does not provide a consensus on this, although two concepts of success can be identified. The first considers KM or KMS a success if knowledge use through the initiative or system improves the organization’s ability to compete. The second considers KM or KMS a success if the KM processes implemented through the KMS (discussed later) are implemented effectively. Both success concepts imply that the KMS has to be used. Therefore, KM and KMS success factors are those factors that encourage or help users to use the KMS to effectively perform KM functions.

This research explores the Critical Success Factors (CSF) for the handover and use stages of projects in the case of one of the most important companies in the gambling sector in Antioquia (Colombia). It develops a model with seven categories and an instrument that measures perception regarding success factors. The results show a difference between successful and unsuccessful projects for all the categories that were analyzed. However, the categories Project Efficiency and Benefit Realization are the main critical success factors. It also confirms that success factors differ according to the perspective of each type of stakeholder: sponsors, managers, project team, customers, and end users. This study contributes empirical evidence for critical success factors in project management from four perspectives: 1) at the handover and use stages; 2) from the perspective of different stakeholders; 3) in the gambling industry; and 4) in a developing country, such as Colombia. Finally, it can be concluded that the value that is given to new knowledge and experiences in successful and unsuccessful projects is an opportunity to create a knowledge management system, which allows to generate a favorable culture for the development of different types of projects in the company.

This article presents the empirical testing of a theoretical model of knowledge management system success. The Jennex and Olfman model of knowledge management system success was developed to reflect the DeLone and McLean model of information systems success in the knowledge management context. A structural equation model representing the Jennex and Olfman theoretical model is developed. Using data from a prior study aimed at knowledge management system use and individual learning, this model is tested. The overall fit of the model to the data is fair, although some interpretation of the estimated model parameters is problematic. The results of the model test provide limited support for the Jennex and Olfman theoretical model, but indicate the value of continued investigation and refinement of it. Suggestions for future research are provided.
