| Abstract | This paper considers the impact on organisational culture of systematized knowledge management, as expressed through workflow management systems and through XML content management systems. Workflow management systems have been used, principally in the banking and finance industry, since the late 1980s. They are frequently associated with downsizing or with productivity initiatives, but a body of evidence also exists to show that they are (in the UK, at least) closely linked to customer service programmes, and to espoused corporate values that underpin those programmes. XML content management systems have frequently been associated with applications as varied as supply chain management and ad hoc enquiries, but are now increasingly being used in UK government, and particularly in electronic patient record systems in the health service. The focus of this study has been on the way in which these technologies have been used to gather the organization's knowledge from many disparate sources, and then to deliver, track and guide users. They act as 'expert assistants', providing information, creating new knowledge, and controlling processes. What effect will they have on the organisation's culture? Is such 'guidance' essentially empowering or constricting? Finally, if there is a cultural shift as a result of implementing these technologies, can it and should it be used consciously in the pursuit of further organizational benefit? The paper will show that both technologies represent ways of encapsulating both business processes and business knowledge, and mediating them to users. In so doing, the technology itself creates organizational and cultural change, irrespective of whether BPR or other initiatives are present. The research uses case study and interview material from the UK National Health Service and from the finance industry, together with examples drawn from the academic and practitioner literature. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
