Abstract
This paper presents the adoption of a knowledge management system (KMS). It is an innovation in the field of IT and its adoption rests within the literature of IT adoption theories. This research documents via Grounded Theory (GT), the adoption of KMS at an Oil and Gas Industry in Malaysia. The model generated offer insights into the technology process adoption scenario, and documents 12 factors arising which can prove useful in stimulating employees to go online and share.
