frames, theories and example of KM. The content is
presented with an empirical example for enhancing
academic and practical implications. Therefore, this
book was complemented by a knowledge management
study as base.
This book also takes an example about the special
characteristics of the knowledge management system
(KMS) and task into a research model and extends the
theory of task technology fit with concepts from Fit-
Appropriation Model by investigating the task and
related KMS characteristics.
