Thus, management practice, IT effectiveness, knowledge-sharing environment, and organizational performance make organizations more efficient and effective. The study concludes with recommendations to organizations that aim to achieve high-quality performance to improve their management practices through effective IT implementation and knowledge sharing using important management attributes highlighted in the study.
