“…A KM life cycle is completed by these business activities (Benbya, et al, 2004) and the KM life cycle is a repetition process of KM activities (Benbya, et al, 2004;West & Hess, 2002). In the context of this paper, the definitions of knowledge as ativity and capability tie in very neatly in the context of this paper as ativity relates to KM activities and capability relates to competitive advantage.…”

“…Past researches (Benbya, et al, 2004;West & Hess, 2002) supported KM activity as an iterative sequence of KM activities and the KM activities are supported by IT applications (Chang & Chuang, 2011;Sher & Lee, 2004;Wang, Klein, & Jiang, 2007). Leonard-Barton (1995) noted "Core capabilities constitute a competitive advantage for a firm; they have been built up over time and cannot be easily imitated".…”

“…Hence, the organisation member can be more responsive and interative in dynamic environment with minimal charges (Gertjan, et al, 1997;Rajiv & Sanjiv, 2005;West & Hess, 2002). A novice technician could handle and solve technical calls and problems with the aid of an expert system in Mocrosoft is a good example of sharing knowledge enables higher organisational competitive advanatge (Tiwana, 2002).…”

The main aim of this paper is to discover the most suitable knowledge management (KM) activities of Multimedia Super Corridor-status organisations in Malaysia (MSC Malaysia companies) in their respective situation in achieving competitive advanatge. Various KM activities from past researches since 1990 were reviewed and investigated. 25,932 articles were found using a keyword index search of "knowledge management" in the ProQuest Central online database. After topic filtering, there were only 30 articles were related to the "knowledge management activities". Based on these related topics of the 30 articles, this paper determines there are four KM activities in achieving organisational competitive advanatge: knowledge creation, storage, sharing and utilisation. These four KM activites were then empirically tested and verified using primary data collected from 600 MSC Malaysia Companies.

Abstract-Introducing metadata management mechanism to build emergency information resources, the paper establishes the data storage metadata, data exchange metadata and data display metadata, and integrates the data of E-government inside-outside network. Information integration based on metadata will solve the problem that distributed, heterogeneous emergency information integrate and share difficultly. The method is practiced and evidenced in the development of Dalian Emergency Management Development Platform. Practice shows that information organization and management methods based on metadata management can enhance the flexibility of data manipulation of emergency management decision support system, and expansibility, portability, easy maintenance and data consistency of heterogeneous system data.
