“…SMEs have increasingly applied e-busibness for B2B and B2C activities (Koh et al, 2004). Application of a web-based simulator model based on Decision Knowledge sharing (DKS) improves business performance of SMEs in supply chains (Wadhwa et al, 2006).…”

Knowledge management (KM) research has focused more on large firms. Lately, there is increasing realization of need and significance of KM for sustainable competitiveness for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Potential competitive advantage of KM may be more profound in a small firm. Information Technology (IT) has a crucial role in KM. IT is the facilitator, the enabler. The IT requirements of SMEs are different from that of big firms. Most of the research on role of IT in KM has focused on big firms. The purpose of this research paper is to look at IT for KM in SMEs particularly, in Indian context. The paper consists of five sections of introduction, literature review, research methodology, research findings and conclusion. IT tools are more in use in international auto components manufacturers (ACMs) as compared to Indian ACMs. The major problems faced by ACM vary among international and Indian ACMs. Internet is used by every organization under study followed by intranet. IT has just grown over time in the organizations under study.

“…Global chains can have SMEs as multiple-autonomous players with varying technical cultures (affects knowledge mindsets), managerial background (affects decision knowledge) and SCM exposures (affects knowledge-sharing attitudes). These knowledge-sharing and knowledge-evolving activities offer several opportunities and challenges for SMEs to contribute effectively to the supply chain business (Wadhwa et al, 2006). Other relevant work includes the latest research by Douligeris and Tilipakis (2006) where a semantic web based KM paradigm in the supply chain is developed and discussed.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework to capture and potentially disseminate knowledge in the supply chain. It is theoretically developed primarily from previous published work and empirically improved by further fieldwork within a sample of SMEs. Design/methodology/approach -The methodological approach is inductive in nature with no predetermined hypothesis. The literature review addresses a number of influential scholars in the area and focuses in particular to the work of specific authors. The relevant field work is based essentially on the administration by interview of a questionnaire with a series of open and closed questions. Findings -Conflict exists over how knowledge should be captured, managed and disseminated by small to medium enterprises (SMEs) within any given supply chain. The literature review indicates the gap in knowledge management that exists generally in the industry and specifically within the SME sector in novel contexts of application. The field work further reinforced the literature findings within a sample of 40 SMEs from a number of industries.Research limitations/implications -The newly proposed model will have to be further tested to ensure validity and applicability in industry. The first author only is currently in the process of undertaking that testing. Originality/value -The work looks specifically at developing a knowledge management framework to complement previous research reported in the literature. The framework will enable partners in the supply chain to harness and potentially disseminate skills and knowledge.

“…For the real time evaluation of a supply chain problem, the proposed heuristic provides us a new insight. To facilitate the SMEs' by e learning, a web-based supply chain has been proposed by Wadhwa et al (2005). The present research paper will also help this technique by providing the information in the real time, which helps in the learning process also.…”
