    • KSS 2004 The 5 th International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences
      • November 10-12, 2004, Ishikawa, Japan
    Ver 2.2 – 2004-11-09 School of Knowledge Science Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
  2. Background
    • Emergence of the knowledge society
      • Knowledge as economic resource
      • Explosion of publications, activities, institutions, products
    • Establishment of KM as an academic discipline
      • Knowledge workers vs. “ knowledge managers ”
      • KM: from practice to research to education
    • Diversity of perspectives in KM
      • Many contributing fields : economics, management science, computer science, systems science, etc.
      • Roughly two main approaches : people -oriented and technology -oriented
  3. Goal
    • To build a framework that facilitated the development of KM programs and courses. The framework should:
      • Present a comprehensive perspective to KM
        • e.g. integrating the main contributing fields, and the people - and the technology -oriented approaches
      • Serve the educational needs of a wide audience
        • e.g. senior executives, middle managers and entry-level professionals.
      • Allow programs/courses with different structures and formats
        • e.g. graduate degree programs, short diploma programs, individual courses.
  4. Methodology
    • Survey of existing KM programs
    • Content analysis of course descriptions
    • Design of the framework
    • Verification of the framework by analyzing existing courses and programs

    B T O K Awareness Comprehension Application
  10. Developing the framework The Profile chart
    • Contents and Proficiency Levels combine to show the Profile of a program or course.
    Competitive Intelligence (B 2 K 2 T 1 O 1 ) Leadership and Management (B 1 K 1 T 0 O 2 ) T O K B T O K B
  11. Implications Analyzing existing programs
