knowledge management system

knowledge manage system helps the organization to manage process for improve performance by capturing and applying knowledge and expertise.(Laudon.c.h & Laudon).

knowledge manage system should help particularly to overcome the short coming of present practices of business engineering with respect to organization performance.(Ronald Mair).

management system gather all the closely connected knowledge and observation of facts within the organization and use them or make them available when required in the organization for better business processes and management decisions, they also connect the organization to other sources that provide information.

KMS in organization:


knowledge management system supports the processes for learning,developing, preserving, sharing out and bringing them into operation as well as process for making new knowledge and combining it in the organization. they consists enterprise-wide system for taking care and sharing out document, images and other different digital object knowledge, organized method for making corporate knowledge creation more easier and similar, office system sharing out information. other knowledge management application prefer intelligent method that codify the knowledge for other members in the firm and help to perform for knowledge discovery that recognizes the type or form and relations large pools of data.

In any successful organization, knowledge worker plays key role. knowledge worker means scientists, engineers or architects, design products or services and create new knowledge for the organization. knowledge workers need to think as company owner, find out effective solutions to problems or spot business opportunities. knowledge workers contribute their knowledge, skills, experiences, talent, and judgment to organization. knowledge worker share their knowledge through knowledge management system. this system will helps to employees communicate and learn more readily. employees at various locations in the company can make effective decision using KMS. By using KMS possible to make right decision at right time.

IDC is a research company, predict that in 2004 U.S. companies would spend $4.8 in knowledge management services, and that the spending on knowledge management by companies world wide reach $10.2 billion.

types of KNS:

there are three major types of the knowledge management system,

-enterprise-wide KMS: general purpose, collect, store, disseminate

-knowledge woke systems: create and discover new knowledge by scientist, engineers and other workers in the organization.
-intelligent techniques: tool for discovering patterns and applying knowledge to descreate decisions and knowledge domains.

Knowledge management system is set of business process developed to create, store, transfer and apply knowledge in organization.

Role of IT in KMS:
knowledge management system is set of business process developed to create, store, transfer and apply knowledge in organization. the knowledge management value chain is illustrated by (Loudon.C.K & Loundon.P.J), it is explain about flow of data to get knowledge. In this steps are Acquire, Store, Disseminate, Apply.
Acquisition: Organization acquire knowledge in different ways depending on the type of knowledge thet seek. the knowledge build for specially making reports, documents, presentation and best practices.

Storage: Data Storage is man important of organization, for retrieve and update of the documents, patterns. Database storage is using for store of data. From this all employees are using related data to apply for particular actions.

Dissemination: Data, Documents, and Graphics are sharing with the help of e-mail, instant message, and search engine technologies.

Application: Organizations are facing practical problem thet which arae not shared by general knowledge management but this can be achieved by making the organization, knowledge as a systematic port of management decision making. To make the management as systematic port by implementing new knowledge management must be build in the all
organization business process.

knowledge management models

knowledge management models are SECI

S-Socialization
E-Externalization
C-Combination
I-Internalization

Socialization: The sharing of tacit knowledge between individuals though joint activities,physical proximity.
Externalization: The expression tacit knowledge in publicly compressible form.

Combination: The conversion of explicit knowledge in to complex set of more explicit knowledge: communication, dissemination,systematization of explicit knowledge.

Internalization: The conversion of explicit knowledge in to tacit knowledge on a individual or organizational scale,

differents between Data, Inforamtion and knowledge

Data:

L.C Kenneth and L.p Jane (2007) defines that data, "which represents events occuring in organization are arranged into a form that, people can understand and use".

In my opinion Data is defined as components of information and it is smallest unit of measures.It is in the form of numeric, images, symbols, name, address and it also may be in the binary form and this data is stored in system data base.

Information:

L.C Kennent and L.P Jane (2007) defines that information in such away that , data that have been shaped into a form that is meaningful and useful to human beings.


In my opinion information is a collection of facts from surrounding environment from which conclusion may be drawn.

Information that are processed to be useful,provides answers who,what ,where and when question.

Difference Between Data and Information:

Information is a active form where as data is a passive form.Information is used in the process of discussion making where as data cannot.

Data is nothing but which is used to illustrate the difference between two different products,such as like bar codes which are used to differentiate the products and its quantity.


eg: Now a days each and every stores are using this bar code technology, which can read the data and stores the information in it, and these bar codes are able to differentiate the products and its complete information about it(product),like its brands,price and its weight of a quantity, and the total number of products which are sold and the stock which is remaining in the store, it displays total information of a particular product. It means that the bar codes are used to store the information, and this stored information in nothing but data.

Knowledge:

Marc Barker and Mike Baker are defined as "knowledge is a formation of data to create information allows us with proper management skills to create knowledge".

David Bennet and Alex Bennet defined " knowledge is learning and action in simple complicated and complex situations".

In my opinion, Knowledge is combination of study and understanding about some specific information on something which is gained through personal experience.


knowledge is application of data and information: answer "how" questions.

Example for Data, Information and Knowledge:

Lets take the realtime example of Elementary school children memorize, In his table book "2*3=6",
here 2,*,3,= and 6 are data and "2*3=6" is information according to his table book,But if we ask him to do multiple of of some higher calculation like 200*300=?he doesn't give the answer of that level.for this correct answer he requires a true cognitive and analytical ability that only comes in next level.Then he applies his knowledge for that calculation to get the perfect answer this is nothing but knowledge.

knowledge management


Knowledge Management

There is no particular definition about the knowledge management, but when I discussed about the knowledge management in group discussion with my friends and colleagues, I came to my personal conclusion about the knowledge management is creating, analyzing, sharing, supporting decisions and to improve the management process and it applies through and integrate it into an organization.

L.C Kenneth and L.C Jane (2007) discuss "Knowledge management is an intangible asset. It improves and gives better managerial process and management and support the process of applying knowledge and expertise".

According to (Ron Yon) Knowledge Management is "the discipline of enabling individual, teams and entire organization to collectively and systematically create, share and applies knowledge to better achieve their objectives".

M.Fafari, P.Akvan, M.N Fesharak, M Fathian (2007) State "KM is a systematic, goal-oriented of measures to control the intangible and tangible Knowledge assets of organizations, with aim to enable creation of new knowledge by using existing knowledge in internal and external sides of these organisations and generate value,creativity,to achieve objectives of out of it". Before going to discuss about knowledge management,we have to know about knowledge and management separately.

Knowledge:

According to Collin's dictionary which was published in1984 defines as"knowledge is a collection of fact, feelings, or experiences know by a person or a group of people".


knowledge=Information+[skills+experience+personal capability]

- By Syed Z.shariq.

Management:
Through wikipedia,"The activity of management is to gather people to accomplish desire goals in business as well as human organisation activities".

from the above mentioned definitions of knowledge and management, I came to know the concept of knowledge management, i.e.

knowledge management:

KM is the process through which the organisation, firms render to their services with applying intellectual thoughts and expertise to better achieve objectives.


I always share my opinions, interests and ideas with my friends or my roommates about my past experience and future plannings. Some of my friends belongs to different nations and different professions such as Law, Medicine, MBA, etc, and coming to me I am an software professionist. I used to share my knowledge with other friends those who doesn't have sound knowledge particularly in computers. This is one of the way that I improve my knowledge.

Importance of KM:

Today the world becomes global village as the result the competition in the various fields like organisations, firms and industries. Also the demands from the customers also increased greatly.To face all these challenges to encourage knowledge is only factor to face and maintain competitiveness. By this knowledge management intellectual capabilities produce clever products and services on knowledge based assets, as the result technology developed and then there rapid changes in global market. Knowledge Management in the organisation plays an important role to enable the organisation creativity, design and develop better product in better price.


Knowledge Management Life-Cycle:


Knowledge Management is further classified into Organization and Technology component.

Organization: It consists of social-cultural environment, policies, standard and organization.


Technology: It consists of tools and techniques to implement effective knowledge management.
The tools are further classified into; knowledge creation, knowledge storage, knowledge sharing and knowledge utilization.

K-Creation: we can creat knowledge in two ways explicit and tacit knowledge. Explict knowledge is nothing but keeping the information in a paper or in electronic device, where as tacit knowledge is nothnig but it is raised in people 's minds this knowledge is need to be converted into explicit knowledge to access others.

K-Storage: Knowledge is stored and organised in respository.

K-sharing:Knowledge is shared and accesed by people.

K-Utilization: Knowledge is make practical and use.


Strategy:

John J.Clark, Thomas J.Hindelang, Robert E.Printchard are states " Strategy planning pertain to the establishment of goals and the progress of the firm in moving toward the defined targets".

By business dictionary "Alternative chosen to happen a desired future, such as achievement of a goal or solution to a problem".

In my view strategy is an Art to achieve long term goals through perfect planning, and command over the resources for their best progress towards targets.

My personal strategy is to become a business analyst for this I am using my skills, knowledge and experience as the resources to achieve my targets(or progress towards achieving my target).
