Abstract

The importance of knowledge management ( K M ) has been developed in both academic and practitioner literatures. Organizations are currently searching for best practices and technologies for implementing KM. Thispaper looks a t a new technology, Peer-to-Peer ( P 2 P ) computing, and explores how itfits in the knowledge management paradigm. The paper explores the kinds of P2P applications that exist, identifying those most relevant to KM. The paper then focuses on collaboration applications, comparing P2P tools with client server tools by mapping tool usefulness in t e r n of KMp r o c e s s and a t various levels of collaboration. The paper concludes with the identiJication of key research issues concerning the use of P2P applications for K
