KMI Enablers in Indian Engineering An Integrated Approach of ISM & AHP

To ensure successful knowledge management implementation, the role of various enablers¿ is critical. To analyze the crucial role that enablers play in carrying out knowledge management within the Indian Engineering industries. Through successful knowledge management Implementation enablers (KMEs) organizations improve their effectiveness and gain competitive advantage. This study identifies and discusses the critical success factor or enablers that determine the Knowledge Management effectiveness within organizations, which in turn influence the total performance of the Indian Engineering Industries. In this research work, ISM model has been developed for the hierarchy of the identified KMEs. Since ISM model results in a hypothetical hierarchy which needs a pro proper quantitative analysis to evaluate their percentage effectiveness in the hierarchy. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique has been applied to quantify the hierarchy obtained from ISM model.
