Research in Brazilian context about knowledge management / learning / information technology: search conducted in Scientific Electronic Library Online

This article investigates the scientific production of knowledge management/learning/technology of information, through search carried out in the Scientific Electronic Library Online. Initially, we analyzed 194 articles that discuss the terms individually and selected 49 articles that addressed the management of organizational knowledge, focusing on the process and the level of organizational learning and the use of information technology tools. In these 49 articles, the classification proposed by Pawlowsky et al. (2003) about organizational learning has been applied. This procedure allowed the selection of 8 articles, which had a higher number of incidents relating to the classification. Finally, these 8 articles were mapped and, as a result, it was found that the perception that the organizational knowledge management refers to a process of cultural change and that learning is a key element to be supported by information technology tools has been confirmed. These conclusions allowed the following understandings: i) the possibility of information technology assists in the management of knowledge as a whole (lever, leads and directs), and (ii) the need to adapt the information technology to the organizational context.
