Abstract:We are confronting with an age of transformation; an age belongs to the Knowledge-Based Economy. Peter Drucker, the famous management scholar, calls it an age of “Post-Capitalism”, while Follett, the English scholar, names it High-Technology Based Economy. In 1996, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) proposed the definition of Knowledge-Based Economy, and firstly clearly defined it as the new economy indicator. From the economists’ viewpoint, the definition of production is no longer the capital, nor the natural resources such as mineral, lumber, but the knowledge itself. It was the demands of age that lead to the boom of Knowledge Management.

Furthermore, by analyzing the practice of Knowledge Management System, this paper is making an attempt to discuss the significance and effect of carrying out Knowledge Management in modern enterprise operation, to bring a new thinking pattern and opportunity for the development of the modern enterprises. 

Key words: Knowledge Based Economy; Knowledge Management System; Modern Enterprise; Knowledge; Development.

摘要:我们正面临着一个变革的时代，一个属于知识经济的新时代。著名的管理学学者彼得·德鲁克把这个时代称为“后资本主义”时代；英国学者福莱特称之为“高技术经济”。而到了1996年，经济合作与发展组织（OECD）更提出了“以知识为基础的经济”的概念，第一次明确地定义了这种新型经济的指标体系。用经济学家的话来说就是：生产的含义不再是资本，也不是诸如矿产、木材等自然资源，而是知识本身！知识管理正是在时代的需求下得以产生及发展。

　　　正因为知识管理是一门新兴的管理方法，在此，本文将重点论述及分析知识管理及其架构，同时通过对构建知识管理系统的实际操作的分析，研究知识管理在现代企业运营中的实践意义和作用，试图给管理者带来新的思考模式，也为现代企业的进一步发展带来新的契机。
