Keywords:
Knowledge Technology, Organization dimension, Knowledge Management, Information Technology, Centralization, professionalism, Structural dimensionsAbstract
This study attempts to define and explain Knowledge Technology (KT) and further investigates the impacts KT would have on future organizational dimensions by using the framework of organizational dimensions proposed by Richard Daft to carry out the investigation. The study reveals that KT would completely ‘metamorphosizes organizations in all dimensions as proposed by Draft’s framework. Decentralization of information, elimination of middle-class managers, increase in the employment and deployment of knowledge-based machines like Expert systems (ES) artificial intelligence (AI) systems to carry out tasks, the reduction in employees’ workforce and the obsolescing of formal education, etc., are some of the projected impacts of KT on future organizations as revealed in this study.
