"(O'Callaghan and Smits, nd) it is stated that estimations of the Gartner Group is that the majority of the data in organizations (75-80%) is in this state of unstructured format and is generally not easily located when it is needed by the organization.

O'Callaghan and Smits (nd) state that organizations tend to "maintain and variety of systems and databases in a complex ad-hoc architecture that does not seem to fulfill the needs for company-wide unstructured information in business processes, business functions and the extended enterprise."

a) File storage;

b) File categorization;

Metadata services;

d) Collaboration services;

e) Workflow services;

f) Versioning services; and g) Access services. (O'Callaghan and Smits, nd)

ECM refers to the "technologies, tools and methods used to capture, manage, store, preserve and deliver content across an enterprise." (O'Callaghan and Smits, nd) ECM basic tools and strategies include the following: (a) Creation or acquisition of information from an existing source; (b) Structure the information in the system by editing it, segmenting it into chunks; and then adding metadata that is appropriate; - Creation of a repository that consists of database records and/or files containing content components, documents, and metadata; (d) Extraction of components out of the repository and produce targeted publications such as Web sites, printable documents, and e-mail newsletters; and (e) Making the content available and easily accessible through a search engine or pushing it to key users.

SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

This work has reviewed several 'shoulds' and 'should nots' of the organization which is a Resource-Based View (RBV) organization. In review the 'shoulds' stated in this study include: (1) Organizations should require experienced individuals to assist less experienced individuals in learning the necessary organizational knowledge; (2) Organizations should create IP culture at the level of higher education, create teaching materials and educate the broader business community and improve training in IPRs. (Hanel, 2004) (3) the organization should examine which of its strengths possess inherent barriers to duplication. (Fahy and Smithee, 1999); (4) When the Resource-Based View organization considers outsourcing it should examine specific 'key' considerations, which include: (a) economic; (b) technological; and - strategic considerations. (Agarwal, 2005); and (5) the organization should be selective when choosing what business functions will be outsourced. (Agarwal, 2005) the 'Should Nots' identified in this study include: (1) the organization should not have their generated information unstructured and not in such a format that renders information unable to be located when needed. (O'Callaghan and Smits, nd); and (2) the organization should not fail in implementation of 'Enterprise Content Management' in the organization. (O'Callaghan and Smits, nd)
