Challenges and Solutions to Organizational Knowledge Management in KBMS

Your paper should be between four to five pages. Take a definite stand on the issues, and develop your supporting argument carefully. Using material from the background information and any other sources you can find to support specific points in your argument is highly recommended; try to avoid making assertions for which you can find no support other than your own opinion.

Your paper is to be structured as a point/counterpoint argument, in the following manner.

· Begin this paper by stating your position on this question clearly and concisely

· Citing appropriate sources, present the reasons why you take this position. Be sure to make the most effective case you can.

· Then present the best evidence you can, again citing appropriate sources, against your position -- that is, establish what counterarguments can be made to your original position.

· Finally, review your original position in light of the counterarguments, showing how they are inadequate to rebut your original statement.

By the end of your paper, you should be able to unequivocally re-affirm your original position.
