...ABSTRACT Knowledge Management (KM) is the key factor for the organizational success and survival. In the competitive business environments, knowledge management involve strategic management processes. The processes consist of formulating stages, implementation stages, and controlling stages. With a systematic strategic management approach, organizations are able to generate competitive advantage and achieve organizational objectives. This paper provides an approach for organization to manage KM through strategic management process. KM currently is a discipline which is growing very fast. Therefore to support business viability and competitiveness, organization needs to integrate fragmented landscape of KM with strategic management process. Keywords: Knowledge Management, Strategic Management. 1.0 INTRODUCTION According to Webb (1998), KM is the process of identification, optimization and active management of intellectual assets to create value, increase productivity and gain and sustain competitive advantage. Meanwhile, Murray (1998) said KM is a strategy that turns an organization’s intellectual assets and the talents of its members to produce new productivity, value and increase competitiveness. Therefore, we can conclude that KM is a discipline, designed to provide strategy, process, and technology to increase organizational learning. A part from that, strategy is the major plan to be undertaken and allocating resources to organization (Cannon, 1968). Aaker (1984) also...

...statement and Objectives Knowledge management (KM) is a relatively new concept in the modern world of knowledge-based economies which is viewed as critical to organizational effectiveness. It appeared only in 1990s and strongly occupied by for-profit organizations (FPOs). Although there is no unique accepted definition of knowledge management, there is the most frequently cited one (Duhon, 1998, pg. 9): "Knowledge management is a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets. These assets may include databases, documents, policies, procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in individual workers." It has been understood recently that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that are not profit oriented also need a sound knowledge management strategy to ensure sustainable and continuous success and to constantly adapt their work to changing conditions (Edwards, 1997). The author of this work aims to investigate the awareness about KM system, its barriers and opportunities to support KM’s implementation among NGOs in Kazakhstan. Several approaches for managing knowledge in organizations have been proposed in recent years. Some of the approaches present a more human-driven approach, some focus more on technological support (Choi & Lee, 2002). This work will mainly concentrate on a human-driven approach of KM implementation of NGOs in Kazakhstan. There are...

...Reaction Paper about: Librarians as Knowledge Managers in the Networked Knowledge Economy Speaker: Joel Buenrostro Capability Development Specialist Accenture September 16, 2011 Introduction Many people in some organizations consider that buying computers, implementing a powerful network with customized software and hiring qualified specialists will be enough to get expected results for a knowledge management initiative. However, all that is not enough if managers are not involved in the selection of a strategy, its application and the sharing concept. For many employees it is very difficult to share their knowledge and sometimes even to use the tools for knowledge management. The lecture- forum entitled “Librarians as Knowledge Managers in the Networked Knowledge Economy” discussed by Joel Buenrostro of Capability Development Specialist Accenture at SMX Convention Center Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City on September 16, 2011.The lecture- forum discusses two parts.

...techniques and practices of implementing knowledge management solution in an organization. Finally, the essay discussed two business organizations that are being well served by knowledge management. There is no universal definition of knowledge management (KM), just as there's no agreement as to what constitutes knowledge. For this reason, it's best to think of KM in the broadest context. KM is the process through which organizations generate value from their intellectual and knowledge-based assets. Most often, generating value from such assets involves sharing them among employees, departments and even with other companies in an effort to devise best practices. The goal of KM is to simultaneously manage data, information, and explicit knowledge while leveraging what people know (tacit knowledge) through a combination of technology and management practices. Although there is a great deal of overlap between knowledge and information, knowledge is considered as a finished product and information and data are considered as raw materials. Tacit and explicit are two categories of knowledge. Tacit knowledge comes from an individual's personal experiences and is affected by their beliefs, values and perspectives. This knowledge is not visible or documented and requires more personal and direct communication. Tacit knowledge is extremely hard to transfer. Accessing tacit knowledge is one of the goals of KM. Explicit knowledge can be described, documented and shared amongst individuals...

...Knowledge Management. KM is the process through which organizations generate value from their intellectual and knowledge-based assets. Most often, generating value from such assets involves codifying what employees, partners and customers know, and sharing that information among employees, departments and even with other companies in an effort to devise best practices. 2) What are the objectives of KM. * Foster innovation by encouraging the free flow of ideas * Improve customer service by streamlining response time * Boost revenues by getting products and services to market faster * Enhance employee retention rates by recognizing the value of employees' knowledge and rewarding them for it * Streamline operations and reduce costs by eliminating redundant or unnecessary processes 3) Why is KM considered a multidisciplinary science? Knowledge Management (KM) is sometimes considered as a two edged sword. This explains the multidisciplinary nature of KM. Anyone can find a familiar foundation on which to base their understanding and even practice of KM. For example someone with journalism skills can quickly adapt his or her skill set to the capture of knowledge fro experts and reformulate them as organisational stories to be stored in co operate memory. Someone coming from a more technical background can use their skill to design and implement knowledge repositories that will serve as the corporate memory for that organisation. KM deals with knowledge...

...1 Introduction to Knowledge Management A light bulb in the socket is worth two in the pocket. —Bill Wolf (1950–2001) This chapter provides an introduction to the study of knowledge management (KM). A brief history of knowledge management concepts is outlined, noting that much of KM existed before the actual term came into popular use. The lack of consensus over what constitutes a good definition of KM is addressed and the concept analysis technique is described as a means of clarifying the conceptual confusion that still persists over what KM is or is not. The multidisciplinary roots of KM are enumerated together with their contributions to the discipline. The two major forms of knowledge, tacit and explicit, are compared and contrasted. The importance of KM today for individuals, for communities of practice, and for organizations are described together with the emerging KM roles and responsibilities needed to ensure successful KM implementations. Learning Objectives 1. Use a framework and a clear language for knowledge management concepts. 2. Define key knowledge management concepts such as intellectual capital, organizational learning and memory, knowledge taxonomy, and communities of practice using concept analysis. 3. Provide an overview of the history of knowledge management and identify key milestones. 4. Describe the key roles and responsibilities required for knowledge management applications. 2 Chapter 1 Introduction The ability to manage knowledge is crucial in...

...Your CEO has just returned from a conference and has become a KM enthusiast. In fact he is so enthusiastic he is willing to fund a KM system for your consulting company up to US $1million. As a recent graduate, you will be expected to lead this project. So, what words of advice do you have for your CEO? Most of us need to use some form of knowledge to get our jobs done better and quicker.Knowledge can be said is a fluid mix of framed experience, values, contextual information, expert insight, and grounded intuition that provides an environment and framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information. It originates and is applied in the mind of the knowers. In organizations it often becomes embedded not only in documents or repositories, but also in organizational routines, practices and norms. But how does an organization handle all of this knowledge? This is where knowledge management (KM)comes in. Knowledge management is the systematic management of an organization's knowledge assets for the purpose of creating value and meeting tactical and strategic requirements. It consists of the initiatives, processes, strategies, and systems that sustain and enhance the storage, assessment, sharing, refinement, and creation of knowledge.In order for KM to succeed, one needs a deep understanding of what constitutes knowledge and look at the forms in which knowledge exists and the different ways that it can be accessed, shared, and combined.There are essentially...
