Zitiervorschlag: Rolf H. Weber, Digital Literacy as Incentive for Knowledge Management in the Digital World, in: Jusletter IT IRIS

The concept of digital literacy constitutes a distinct but interconnected part of several related literacies that were developed within the past years. This ability or mind-set may equally apply to knowledge, which, as a result of interpretation and interaction of information with individuals, has become a possible source for business added value. Following a technology orientated approach, the question of the possible role attributed to computer technology in the context of «cooperation» will rise in the near future. Due to its actuality and innovative character, it is worth to assess as to whether cloud services may contribute to the organizational goals in a time of globalization of knowledge. This contribution takes the interconnected developments in these fields as opportunity to analyze the concept of digital literacy in the context of cloud computing as form of «new knowledge management» in the digital world.
