Research on Knowledge Share in a Virtual Organization

Virtual organizations are becoming an effective way to enhance competition in minor enterprises with the development of network information technology. But to guarantee success of the virtual organization, sharing knowledge among the participating enterprises becomes a critical problem. At present, the representation of knowledge varies in different enterprises, which makes sharing knowledge difficult. In order to solve this problem, a knowledge management and share framework oriented to virtual organizations is proposed in this thesis and a corresponding support system named VOK share is designed and developed. It is shown in practice that the system is able to solve the problem of knowledge sharing among enterprises in certain virtual organizations and improves cooperation among those enterprises.
