Gerhard- Sorry this is late, but since I was away last weekend and missed class on monday, I didn't realize I had an assignment due. Well, at least I did it, right? Thanks, Scott Zweig === === === === === === === === === === Assignment #16 4/9/04 (4/5/04) Briefly discuss the following issues:
I always thought of knowledge as one giant being, one entity that is either understood or not. I never before realized that there are so many different realms of knowledge, that they all do in fact need to be managed, or looked over by someone (in order to keep them straight). This leads to the interesting idea of the "knowledge champion," which I found to be fascinating. The concept of knowledge management is interesting because it applies to ideas that are discovered, learned and taught in REAL TIME, not just years later in books.
I liked the vignettes, however it would have been better if the specific examples (like that of the oil company or the well drillers)were discussed in more detail or tied into the accompanying paragraphs.
I understood it to be that the successful use of a knowledge management system is a vital factor in a company's success. Especially if it is a large company, with many employees scattered across great distances, in this case an effective, and efficient system to share information is crucial to maximizing results.
