I feel within a business a knowledge management system is very important. As a result of maintaining a well balanced and accurate management system allows the company to perhaps develop new or improved equipment. This provides the employees a better knowledge base of what is going on within the company. I completely agree with these two facts that were stated within the article. How is a company, corporation, or small business supposed to compete within the job market without improved equipment and not having the most updated info within the business? I would have to say that the operation won’t sustain their operation for very long. KMS can be used for a wide range of cooperative, collaborative, adhocracy and hierarchy communities, virtual organizations, societies and other virtual networks, to manage media contents; activities, interactions and work-flows purposes; projects; works, networks, departments, privileges, roles, participants and other active users in order to extract and generate new knowledge and to enhance, leverage and transfer in new outcomes of knowledge providing new services using new formats and interfaces and different communication channels. With this statement alone made within this specific article should give you an idea of the importance of having a solid KMS.
