| Society's gradual transformation into a "knowledge society" has increased the organizational importance of knowledge work dramatically. Knowledge as the chief resource, rather than labor, raw materials or product development, changes the culture of an organization dramatically. Today's employees are increasingly well educated with refined problem solving skills, propelling knowledge workers to replace industrial workers as the largest work force population. Record profits from natural resources, especially oil, have been eclipsed by knowledge-based business revenue.;Knowledge management has emerged as a vital concept an organization must embrace in order to remain competitive in today's information-driven marketplace. To harness organizational knowledge, knowledge management systems (KMS) originated in the 1990s as a continuation of databases.;This paper describes the construction of a Web-based knowledge management system that is portable, economical, convenient, and easy to access and navigate. The KMS will contain examples of how colleges and universities use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology on their campuses. |
