The increasing need of small knowledge-intensive companies for loosely-coupled
collaboration and ad-hoc knowledge sharing has led to a strong requirement
for an alternative approach to developing knowledge management systems.

that builds on a socio-technical perspective and considers people
as well as technology as two highly interconnected components. We
