This e-book investigates the factors impacting on the diffusion of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS). Although this research is of interest to other disciplines, no attempt has been made to synthesize this material as it relates to KMSs. There is some literature on the factors influencing the adoption and diffusion of various technologies, but there is none on the factors for KMS adoption and diffusion. With a background in the high-level factors of adoption and diffusion of generic technologies, Jun Xu and Mohammed Quaddus investigate the factors influencing the adoption and diffusion of KMSs in the Australian context.
