A
computer
will
solve
problems
in
exactly
the
way
it
is
programmed
to
,
without
regard
to
efficiency
,
alternative
solutions
,
possible
shortcuts
,
or
possible
errors
in
the
code
.
Computer
programs
that
learn
and
adapt
are
part
of
the
emerging
field
of
artificial
intelligence

Role
of
Knowledge
Management
Systems
:
-
Collects
relevant
knowledge
and
make
it
available
wherever
and
whenever
it
is
needed

sources
of
knowledge
-
Support
processes
for
acquiring
