relevant and competitive, it is imperative that organizations cultivate and
foster learning capabilities. It has been widely accepted that learning is a
subcomponent of knowledge management activities in an organizational context.
Numerous studies have been done to examine the relationship between knowledge
management (KM) and organizational learning (OL). Yet, limited research has
been published to demonstrate how practical design and implementation of a KM
system (or an instantiation of it) can impact/influence learning capabilities
within organizations. KM in general is defined as a systematic way of creating,
storing, sharing and disseminating knowledge to aid various forms of decision
making within organizations. A KM system meanwhile is often related to the
application of Information Technology to support KM efforts in an
organizational context. OL is a sub-domain of organizational theory that
examines issues pertaining to the importance of learning and keeping abreast
with changes within the organizational landscape. There is significant role and
scope for well designed and implemented KM systems to support learning efforts</span><span lang="EN-MY">. </span></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">
