Abstract :
Nowadays, sophisticated technologies, such as Information Technology systems arise from new demands in case of technology perception. With increasing tendency in using Web-based technologies for ameliorating job performance, Information Technology systems act as a vital section in business operations. In the current research, results of organizational development pertaining to critical factors of web-based knowledge management effective transmission are concerned. Infusion and diffusion processes are evaluated by acceptance of effectiveness of web-based knowledge management technology in organizational systems. Incepted acceptance and transmission of Information Technology tools in the accepting system business processes, will not necessarily guarantee the change in taste of users and designers. It becomes obvious only at a time when IT systems cause changes. Once this technology is deployed, a need for acquiring and measuring integration arises; this claims that a need for diffusion level as a source of change exists. Each of mentioned processes, i.e. Infusion and Diffusion, are influenced by a set of constituents. In this study, we use experimental models of infusion and diffusion for web-based Knowledge Management technology. The change source in technology transmission is considered in this research. Also, some applicable advices are suggested for effective transmission of web-based knowledge management technology in organizations. This research is done to find out the factors affecting technology transmission and IT technologies acceptance. It tries to explore the procedures for facilitating a successful transmission of these technologies too.
