Economics: How can success of KMS and KM initiatives be measured? What
could a KMS controlling look like? How should KM initiatives be funded? What is
the state of practice concerning evaluation of success of KMS and KM initiatives?
Moreover, the relationships between these four main areas describing KMS supported
