Abstract
In today's competitive and global business environments, knowledge is recognised as one of the most important strategic assets for modern organisations. In the light of this, knowledge management (KM) continues to receive much attention both from the academic and business communities. With improvements in IT-based systems for handling knowledge, KM is becoming an essential theme of research into business success as well as a subject of new business initiatives. There is a growing emphasis on innovation through 'knowledge work' and 'knowledge workers' and on the leveraging of 'knowledge assets' (Swan et al., 1999).
