Abstract
Knowledge has been the staple source of competitive advantage for many organizations for hundreds
of years. During the 1990s, the onset of Internet and Information Superhighway, allowed KM to take
off. It provided more opportunities for knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer than there had
been in the past. This paper discusses the paradigm shift from agricultural to industrial economy
and then to new Knowledge Economy. Provides a conceptual view of Knowledge management and
its key drivers- highlights the evolution and the functions of portals- also elucidates different tools
and technologies which act as platform to bring people together to share knowledge in the form of
expertise, competencies, skills irrespective of time and space constraints. Concludes that the
future is for Knowledge Portals that provide flexible knowledge environment for large number of
users.
