Knowledge Management and its Implementation

Recently, knowledge management (KM) has become a very popular business concept. Unfortunately, there are still problems connected with the incorporation of KM into an organisation in the Czech Republic. Examples of these problems are a lack of utilisable methodologies of KM implementation in the Czech Republic that are described in sufficient details, strong technological orientation of KM implementation, different perception of KM by different people, where KM is mostly substituted by information technologies, absence of methodologies that would take into consideration of a specific business and culture environment in the Czech Republic, etc. That is why, a new methodology was developed at the Faculty of Informatics and Management at the University of Hradec Kralove. This paper briefly describes the situation of KM in the Czech Republic and basic features of the methodology KM-Beat-It.
