Abstract
Knowledge Management has captured the attention of management, and IT vendors are hastily bringing products to market. The interest in Knowledge Management is understandable given the moves towards knowledge based economies and workplaces.
Large organizations have begun to understand the value of the knowledge held inside and outside their organization. Nowadays,the value of an organization may be based on its intellectual capital and this is demonstrated by organizations being sold for many times its worth in terms of hard assets. The concept of being able to store and use the ‘knowledge’ that is generated inside and outside all organization has obvious appeal. However, the management of this “knowledge” and the ability to use it for an advantage requires careful planning and an understanding of knowledge inside and outside the organization and its workers. This process requires a mix of organizational, cultural and technology understanding.
Current research and vendor interest is focusing on large organizations. However, Small to Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) also have an explicit need to manage their intellectual capital. Research interest in large organizations is strong,but SMEs cannot always use the findings that are targeted to large organizations and will probably be unable to afford the specific Knowledge Management tools offered by vendors.
Nevertheless,SMEs can use the knowledge in their organizations to gain all advantage. In particular, the liquor-making industry has a significant knowledge component and Knowledge Management could provide substantial benefits. Many Knowledge Management principles apply to organizations irrespective of their size. How these can he implemented within a SME is the subject of this research.
