Transposing a Global Vision of Knowledge Management to a Global Vision of Information Management

The definition of Information System do not consider individual as a component of the Information System. In this paper we present our postulates, and our definition of Knowledge Management and Knowledge Management Systems. We describe the Model for Global Knowledge Management within the Enterprise (MGKME) that has been conceived in order to serve as a referential for Knowledge Management Systems in enterprise. Then we suggest a transposition of this model to Information System. This transposition leads to highlight two axis of research: (i) How to consolidate the concept of Information System considering individuals as users and components of the system; and (ii) How to use Information System as one of the factors enabling organizational learning processes.
