Summary Bioinformatics and Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) themselves are very broad and complex topics. Combining the two topics together creates a very specific yet still open subject. Many other people have discussed KMS within specific sub-areas of the Bioinformatics field but none talk at length about the Bioinformatics KMS (BKMS) as a whole. In this paper I will evaluate KMS based on my research and critiques in hopes to build a better KMS with specific tools so that I can not only present a good idea of the topic but I can also propose new ideas. The aim of doing this is to talk about the USD Bioinformatics team and how this area was researched, developed, and in the future, implemented into our own system. With these goals in mind, this team hopes to make a bigger impact by integrating a good BKMS into their website. 1.0 Introduction The topic of Bioinformatics and Knowledge Management (KM) and KMS are becoming more popular as time goes on. The rise of Bioinformatics resulted from the influx of genetic information available (Luscombe, Greenbaum, & Gerstein, 2001). With this vast amount of biological data, scientists needed to be able to manage this data for organizational and retrieval purposes. With the rise of Bioinformatics, along the same time frame we see the rise of Knowledge Management Systems (Gallupe, 2000) and from this we can infer that they are related. This is what gave rise to what we know now as the BKMS which is a system for managing knowledge in Bioinformatics. Because BKMS isn’t a very popular topic, it is somewhat difficult to find a great amount of research on it. When trying to discover details about KMS in Bioinformatics or Bioinformatics KM or anything similar to that, most of the time it is... ... middle of paper ... ...eying the Landscape, (October), 1–27.

A large amount of data is generated in the healthcare industry from providers, pharmacies and consumers. Challenges are faced in accessing, storing and transforming the data into usable form.
T.D. Wilson (2002) makes a point of identifying several sources of articles, references and course syllabi with varying takes on knowledge management within organizations. Wilson is convinced that organizations misuse the terminology “knowledge management” and that their activities are more concerned with managing information than with the management of knowledge (Wilson, 2002). Wilson defines knowledge as involving “the mental processes of comprehension” or, as “what we know” and information as the expression of what we know and can convey through messages (Wilson, 2002). By researching the use of the “knowledge management” Wilson conveys that the terms knowledge and information are used interchangeably, which results in an inaccurate application

(106) 'Knowledge management means using the ideas and experience of employees, customers and suppliers to improve the organisation’s performance. ' (5) Knowledge management (KM) is best when 'it is in alignment with organizational culture, structure and strategy ' (5). For this reason, the aim of this briefing document is to advise Santander on solutions to potential KM barriers employees may face by discussing three key barriers- culture, technology and leadership.

Our modern society encounters rapid changes that inevitably lead business organization to become continuous innovative engine in facing the dialectic of stability and change to meet the demand of ongoing changing environment. In order to be remaining competitive through providing superior value; today, businesses are required to gear up its knowledge based activities by taking knowledge management initiatives seriously. Surely, knowledge management in organization gets its momentum in recent discussion of both academic and practitioner fields. The diversity of disciplines (Economics, Information and Library Science, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Communication, Cognitive Science, Organizational Behavior and Theory, Psychology,

In Google’s case, the purchase of Motorola (which has turned out not to have been the best business decision) probably could have been avoided if the knowledge within the company was managed and used better. Knowledge enables a company to create, recognize and distribute opportunities. When every employee of a company contributes his or her part of knowledge into the knowledge pool, it is very beneficial as it contributes to the overall success of the company. Proper application of the available knowledge in a company can offer several competitive benefits to both the company and the employees. Application of accurate knowledge at the correct situation helps a company to make good decisions.
Management theories help managers succeed in advancing the company goals. Knowledge management is one of the theories. Knowledge management is the management of corporate knowledge and intellectual assets; furthermore, knowledge management adds value to an organization by enabling an enterprise to act more intelligently (Gupta et al., 2002). Koenig, (2012), defines knowledge management theory as a “discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets”. He goes on to say, “these assets may include databases, documents, policies, procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in individual workers" (Koenig, 2012, para 4).

Knowledge management is one of the emerging fields in the research world today. Knowledge Management has gained a lot of attention in the developed world but has attracted a little
Knowledge management is support to idea to companies and become the most valuable resource to help these companies. Knowledge management generates reposts that show the demanding of products, how effect employees are being, KM helps them share idea around the companies and show manger the best idea that will help the companies operates. Knowledge management is not something we thing of everyday but we will after we know about it what it really means. All companies us some type of training, experience and informal system of friends and employee. Knowledge management help us choose the right person to solve the issue is know their skill. All companies get operations done and become successful by aware of answers or perceptive what everyone does
