Use of storage technologies to select knowledge management tools and strategies for m-smes

Abstract

The Storage Technologies allow to have an effective and planned management of the resources a company contains (materials or information). When they contain information, there is a need to possess an information storage system, to retrieve relevant aspects from a data reservoir. Regarding Knowledge Management (KM) on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (M-SMEs) usually has short presence on the literature, which is why this project can help to collect information on the subject. This work will be considered to those people who support the recently open M-SMEs, which present difficulties on their intellectual capital, innovation and development, generating a high rate of failure. With the objective of effectively apply KM on those companies using data storages, this article consists on presenting the current situation on the studied elements in the introduction, following a theoretical analysis and the process designed to achieve the objective. The process was to develop a database, with a design based on Storage Technologies which was used, and its utility will be determined on the conclusions. As result, the objective was achieved because, with an amount of case studies, data of interest was available and formed a new criterion that allows a practical and integral selection of tools and strategies of KM on those companies.
