KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE (KMS)
The Knowledge Management Structure (KMS) is a term put forward by management writer Tom Peters as a development of the learning organization. The 'new' firm must destroy bureaucracy but needs to nurture knowledge and skill, Peters says, building expertise in ways that enhance the power of market-scale units and that encourage those units to contribute knowledge for the benefit of the firm as a whole. Microsoft is made up of KMSs.
