摘要：Knowledge governance is a relatively new discipline in Malaysia with very little research work
performed so far. As Malaysian government is actively involved in the implementation of Economic
Transformation Program (ETP), Government Transformation Program (GTP) and Urban
Transformation Program (UTP), Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) need to react to the government
move by transforming their conventional knowledge management practices to knowledge
governance. As of today, there has been very limited study conducted in Malaysia on the extent of
the company acceptance of such governance. This research was therefore conducted to measure
the SME users' acceptance and identify the pros and cons of knowledge governance. With these
findings, recommendations were given to policy makers and industries to increase the company's
knowledge governance acceptance. Questionnaire was used for data collection. Systematic random
sampling methods was used to select respondents. The questionnaire was developed and adapted
based on knowledge management and IT governance frameworks. In this model, the dependent
variable was company's intention to adopt knowledge governance. Independent variables included
knowledge application needs, knowledge architecture, knowledge infrastructure, knowledge investment
and knowledge principles.
