From the Paper:

"Technology is the driving force behind Knowledge Management. Technology is necessary for KM to succeed, but it is not an important enough component to be the sole driving force behind Knowledge Management; likewise IT companies are driving the knowledge revolution (Desenberg 2000, p. 52). IT companies are working to help eliminate barriers to knowledge sharing such as geography (Desenberg 2000, p. 52). Thus it is critical to examine KM principles and practices from an IT perspective. Chairman of Hewlett Packard Corporation is quoted as saying, "If HP only knew what HP knows, we'd be worth twice what we are today" (Desenberg, 2000, p. 52). Thus, it is critical that one examine the potential for combined knowledge and experiences and the value they would bring."
