e-Business Systems: Exploring Knowledge Prospect Domains (KPDs)

Research was conducted in the area of sustainable knowledge extraction from e-business systems and technologies. Differentiating approaches from three notable authors in the field were explored. Some common denominator to apply to a convergent approach in system conceptualization and design were sought. It will be argued that most of e-business system upgrades and modification cost could be averted if the knowledge bearing capacity of proposed systems is realized and included as primary design parameters during the System Development Life Cycle. It will furthermore be argued that if this inclusive and integrative approach is followed it would lead to building a capacity to act that could be utilized for creating sustainable competitive advantage. Most e-Business system development is approached from an information processing and efficiency dimension, which more often than not exclude the knowledge utilization and effectiveness component as a design parameter. In most cases the primary...
