HARMONIZED CODIFICATION OF GOODS USING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN SEE COUNTRIES

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 Environmentin 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.
Positive samples will be useful to be implemented within SEE countries, and
as an impact, the contribution of the paper will be shown as a possible model of
managing and motivating an environment that supports Knowledge Management
Environment in SEE countries, through harmonized codification using Information
and Communication Technologies.
