  3. You have started the article off well by defininig KMS's and acknowledging the purpose of KMS in any organisation. But you have failed to recognise that employees might not always use KMS's that might be implemented in an organisation and alos recognise initiatives an organisation might take to counteract this.

    You have also not given consideration to the different components of any KMS. You have focused solely on the knowledge worker who is only one of the components that make up a knowledge management system.
