Knowledge Management is increasingly considered as a main source of competitive advantage for corporations. However, knowledge does not usually command significant value until it is embedded in products or processes. One possible way to study how knowledge creates value to organizations is to assess how it is managed across activities within the value chain.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation is one of such supportive activities in the value chain that adds value to organizations by improving products or processes. ERP implementations synthesize existing knowledge thereby improving business processes. However, researches on ERP and IT focused on using IT solutions as enabling tools for knowledge management rather than managing knowledge in implementing IT solutions. The objective of this presentation is to explore how knowledge creates value to organizations by assessing knowledge management practices in ERP implementations.
