| Summary: | The past two decades have seen growing interest in knowledge
management and the use of information technologies. However, it is
not clear how the relation between IT competency and knowledge
management works. This study provides a better understanding of
that relation. Through an empirical study of 162 Spanish firms, the
work finds that no direct relation exists between IT competency and
knowledge management. Open organization and empowerment
mediate the relation between IT competency and knowledge
management processes. These findings reinforce a field that is of
increasing interest to researchers, and which has seen only a limited
number of empirical studies to date. |
