Abstract:Knowledge management (KM) is typically internally generated and managed. Information services (IS) have a long history of external provision (hereafter as: ext-prov). This paper analyzes conceptual issues, especially asymmetry, for external market provision, and explores a case study of traditional IS being reconfigured into KM and IS in the cement and concrete industries - a particularly pertinent case addressing generic issues of ext-prov. and also KM services for projects, a major means for procuring and delivering products and services.
