Abstract
Today, knowledge is considered the only source for creating the competitive advantages of modern organizations. However, managing intellectual capital is challenged, especially for SMEs in developing countries like Vietnam. In order to help SMEs to build KMS and to stimulate their intellectual capital, a suitable technical platform for collaboration is needed. Wiki is a cheap technology for improving both intellectual capital and effectiveness of project management. However, there is a lack of proof about real benefit of applying wiki in Vietnamese SMEs. Cideco Company, a Vietnamese SME in construction design & consulting industry, is finding a solution to manage its intellectual capital for improving the effectiveness of project management. In this research, wiki is applied and tested to check whether it can be a suitable technology for Cideco to stimulate its intellectual capital and to improve the effectiveness of project management activities. Besides, a demo wiki is also implemented for 2 pilot projects to evaluate its real benefit. Analysis results showed that wiki can help to increase both intellectual capital and effectiveness of project management at Cideco.
