Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the implementation level of information and communication technology in the construction sector’s SMEs and its influence on business knowledge management. The research is descriptive with non-experimental transversal design. The data was gathered through an instrument integrated by 6 questions and 2 structured factors on Likert scale, with 5 options to answer, which was applied to 337 small and medium organizations with diverse specialties in the construction sector. The results indicate that the use of information technology as part of the knowledge management activities is not perceived as a factor that contributes to the organizations’ competitiveness considering that the use of ICTs is for contractual compliance purposes rather than for preserving the information and knowledge generated by the company, since they are present elements that are developed independently from the operational context.
