Editor's Notes
First of all, I would like to thank Prof du Toi, at the department of information and knowledge management, for this opportunity to address you today on a topic I am very passionate about. A word of introduction, my name is Rosario Sica and I collaborate with the University of Insubria in Varese, Italy, in the Department of information and communication technology. As a pass time, I am also a director at a management consulting company, being in charge of the area of New Technologies. Over the past year I have been in charge of projects to develop knowledge management systems and community management systems on clients such as Barclays Financial Group, Eurizon Financial Group and other large corporations.
