Abstract: The internal and external environment is always changing which calls for relevant and appropriate information and knowledge application in organisational development. Information and knowledge are the only resources that do not decrease with use. Knowledge actually increases with use. Information is the resource on which all other resources are based; however there is need for knowledge about that information. The article examines information and knowledge management. It identifies what exactly is it in knowledge management that is not in information management. Knowledge management requires the association of the knower whilst in information management, the knower might not be really required but documents, articles books and records.

Abstract: Technological advances, availability of similar goods and easier ways of attaining knowledge in the marketplace make the issues of innovation more important than ever before. Firms need innovation in order to survive in the competitive market and to enhance their competitiveness. Firms need various sources and knowledge to perform innovation activities. One way to reach these sources is knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing. Knowledge transfer can be achieved in various ways, for example through networks. The objective of this paper is to reveal the relationship between knowledge transfer and networks with technology and innovation in the hotel sector in the Antalya Province. The results of the analysis support that there is a significant relationship between technology and innovation with knowledge transfer and networks.
