The role of implementation of current ICT technologies to identify trade items

Abstract

Abstract 
Considering the importance of creation of Knowledge Management Environment in SEE 
countries, comparable with the EU Environment, trends and situation in EU countries, and 
the variety of available Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Solutions on the 
market, it is a difficult and challenging task of deciding what type of ICT solutions to use in 
support of creation of Knowledge Management Environment in SEE. This paper aims to 
research the state of harmonized codification using the Information and Communication 
Technologies in SEE countries by investigating the role of ICT in creation of the successful 
Environment for Knowledge Management. 
Codification of Knowledgeusing information and communication technology (ICT) have 
made it easier to acquire, store, or disseminate knowledge than ever before, many 
organizations are employing IT to facilitate sharing and integration of knowledge. 
SEE countries are being advised that to remain competitive, they must efficiently and 
effectively create, locate, capture, and share their knowledge and expertise, and have the 
ability to bring that knowledge to bear on problems and opportunities. SEE countries are 
showing a serious interest in implementing knowledge management processes and 
technologies, and are even beginning to adopt knowledge management as part of their 
overall development strategy. 
With the codification approach, more explicit and structured knowledge is codified and 
stored in knowledge bases. Examples of such IT tools are knowledge expert directories and 
video-conferencing tools. Both these Knowledge Management approaches are fundamental 
to understanding the importance of ICT in creation of Environment for Knowledge 
Management.
