  2. Define an issue To find out the efficiency of collaborative learning using Knowledge Management system and the effect under Web 2.0 technologies.

  3. Reason for Knowledge Management • When a business growing up, with expanding its employees, a company need a structure system to collect everyone’s intelligence and share or transfer within the company to improve the company learning and performance. Also, the structured system can also preserve precious knowledge in a long-term no matter the turnover of the employees.
