It is clear from this study that information techno
logy has an impact ove
r
organizational learning as
IT facilitates OL at both the individual level and
the
organizational level
in creating knowledge which ultimately enables
organizations to improve capabilities and enhance p
erformances to cope with
change. Companies are using various IT application
or
tools to promote OL
either through knowledge depository database, onlin
e training, staff rotation
planning or
various IT based communication channels. The use o
f knowledge
management strategy and the role of IT on OL coinci
de with
the strategic
objective set by the company. Companies also use di
fferent combinations
between tacit and explicit knowledge in respond to
the strategic goal. Both tacit
and explicit knowledge are always used in all compa
nies but the mixture
produces different results. It is the management th
at has to determine the
right
combination between them to create the maximum impa
ct on OL. IT can be a
tool help managing tacit and explicit knowledge but
people are more important
in
the process of knowledge creation as it is individu
als who possess the
critical
minds led to learning. It is important to realize a
fact that o
rganization will never
learn if its people do not learn
