Knowledge management (KM) involves organizing and sharing important knowledge throughout an organization. KM focuses on getting the most value from knowledge resources wherever and whenever they are needed. It is related to intellectual capital and helps companies by shortening learning curves, ensuring core competencies are met, and allowing faster reactions to opportunities. KM systems use technologies and social/structural mechanisms to improve knowledge capture, sharing, discovery, and application. Effective KM requires balancing technology with organizational culture and human factors.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. What is KM?
Knowledge management (KM) may simply be
defined as doing what is needed to get the most
out of knowledge resources.
In general, KM focuses on organizing and making
available important knowledge, wherever and
whenever it is needed.
KM is also related to the concept of intellectual
capital, composed of both human & structural
capital
Chapter 1, Becerra et al.
4. Why KM?
Sharing knowledge, a company creates exponential
benefits from the knowledge as people learn from it
Building better sensitivity to “brain drain”
Reacting instantly to new business opportunities
Ensuring successful partnering and core
competencies with suppliers, vendors, customers,
and other constituents
Shortens the learning curve
5. KM justification
Is current knowledge going to be lost?
Is proposed system needed in several
locations?
Are experts available/willing?
Can experts articulate how problem will be
solved?
Is there a champion in the house?
6. Driving forces in KM
Increasing Domain Complexity
• Intricacy of internal and external processes,
increased competition, and the rapid advancement
of technology all contribute to increasing domain
complexity.
Accelerating Market Volatility
• The pace of change, or volatility, within each
market domain has increased rapidly in the past
decade.
7. Forces driving KM
Intensified Speed of Responsiveness
• The time required to take action based upon subtle
changes within and across domains is decreasing.
Diminishing Individual Experience
• High employee turnover rates have resulted in
individuals with decision-making authority having
less tenure within their organizations than ever
before.
8. Implications
Faced with increased complexity, market volatility
and accelerated responsiveness, today’s younger
manager feels less adequate to make the difficult
decisions faced each day.
KM is important for organizations that continually
face downsizing or a high turnover percentage
due to the nature of the industry
9. Is KM for everyone?
KM is important for all organizations
Today’s decision maker faces the pressure to
make better and faster decisions in an
environment characterized by a high domain
complexity and market volatility, even in light
of
lack of experience typically from the decision-
maker
outcome of those decisions could have such a
considerable impact on the organization
10. KM Systems (1)
Information technology facilitates sharing as well as
accelerated growth of knowledge.
Information technology allows the movement of
information at increasing speeds and efficiencies.
“Today, knowledge is accumulating at an ever
increasing rate. It is estimated that knowledge is
currently doubling every 18 months and, of course,
the pace is increasing... Technology facilitates the
speed at which knowledge and ideas proliferate”
Bradley [1996]
11. KMS (2)
Knowledge management mechanisms are organizational
or structural means used to promote knowledge
management.
The use of leading-edge information technologies (e.g.,
Web-based conferencing) to support KM mechanisms
enables dramatic improvement in KM.
knowledge management systems (KMS): the synergy
between latest technologies and social/structural
mechanisms
12. KMS (3)
KM systems classification based on
observations on the KM systems
implementations:
Knowledge Discovery Systems
Knowledge Capture Systems
Knowledge Sharing Systems
Knowledge Application Systems
13. Issues in Knowledge
Management
“Effective KM is not about making a choice between
“software vs. wetware, classroom vs. hands-on, formal vs.
informal, technical vs. social…uses all the options
available to motivated employees to put knowledge to
work …[and] depends on recognizing that all of these
options basically need each other” [Stewart, 2002].
One of the primary differences between traditional
information systems and KM systems is the active
role that users of KM systems play on building the
content of such systems.
14. Challenges
Explaining what KM is and how it can benefit a
corporate environment
Evaluate the firm’s core knowledge, by employee,
by department, and by division
Learning how knowledge can be captured,
processed, and acted on
Addressing the still neglected area of collaboration
Continue researching KM to improve and expand its
current capabilities
How to deal with tacit knowledge
16. Essence of KM
1. Knowledge is first created in the people’s minds.
KM practices must first identify ways to
encourage and stimulate the ability of employees
to develop new knowledge.
2. KM methodologies and technologies must
enable effective ways to elicit, represent,
organize, re-use, and renew this knowledge.
3. KM should not distance itself from the knowledge
owners, but instead celebrate and recognize
their position as experts in the organization.
18. The nature of knowledge
Understand the difference between
knowledge, data, and information
Explain the alternative views of knowledge
Understand the different types of knowledge
Recognize the various locations of
knowledge
19.
20. Data
Data represents unorganized and unprocessed
facts.
Raw numbers, images, words, sounds, derived from
observations or measurements
Usually data is static in nature.
It can represent a set of discrete facts about events.
An organization sometimes has to decide on the
nature and volume of data that is required for
creating the necessary information.
Data in itself has no meaning; it is the raw material
for information.
21. What is information?
Information is processed data
Information is a subset of data, only including
those data that possess context, relevance
and purpose
Information involves manipulation of raw data
22. Information
Is data with a meaning assigned to it
Example: raw data from survey analysed to produce
structured results
Information has meaning; it is organized for some
purpose.
Information can be considered as an aggregation
of data (processed data) which makes decision
making easier.
It is the raw material for knowledge
23. Knowledge/1
Means to analyse/ understand information/data,
belief about causality of events/actions, provides
the basis to guide meaningful action and thought.
Broader, deeper, richer than information
Knowledge is a basis for making decisions
A combination of information, instincts, rules,
ideas, procedures and experience that guide
actions and decisions
25. Data / information/ knowledge

28. Knowledge/3
“A fluid mix of framed experience, values, contextual
information, and expert insight that provides a framework
for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and
information. It originates and is applied in the minds of
knowers. In organizations, it often becomes embedded
not only in documents or repositories, but also in
organizational routines, process, practices, and norms”
(Davenport, 1998)
29. Subjective View of knowledge
Knowledge as State of Mind
Knowledge as Practice
Objective View of Knowledge
Knowledge as Objects
Knowledge as Access to Information
Knowledge as Capability
30. Kinds of knowledge
Deep Knowledge: Knowledge gained
through years of proper experience.
Shallow Knowledge: Minimal understanding
of the problem area.
Know-How Knowledge: Accumulated
lessons of practical experience.
31. Kinds of knowledge
Reasoning and Heuristics:
Reasoning by analogy: indicates relating one
concept to another.
Formal Reasoning: indicates reasoning by using
deductive or inductive reasoning.
Deduction: uses major and minor premises. New
knowledge is generated by using previously
specified knowledge.
Inductive reasoning reveal reasoning from a set
of facts to a general conclusion. Is the basis of
scientific discovery.
32. Types of knowledge
Procedural knowledge represents the
understanding of how to carry out a specific
procedure.
Declarative knowledge focuses on beliefs
about relationships among variables. It can
be stated in the form of propositions,
expected correlations, or formulas relating
concepts represented as variables.
Declarative knowledge can be divided
into semantic and episodic knowledge
33. Types of knowledge
Semantic knowledge is highly organized,
``chunked'' knowledge that resides mainly in
long-term memory. Semantic knowledge can
include major concepts, vocabulary, facts,
and relationships.
Episodic knowledge represents the
knowledge based on episodes (experimental
information). Each episode is usually
``chunked'' in long-term memory.
34. Tacit vs Explicit
Tacit knowledge usually gets embedded in
human mind through experience
Includes insights, intuitions, and hunches
Explicit knowledge is codified and digitized in
documents, books, reports, spreadsheets,
memos etc.
We can convert explicit knowledge to tacit
knowledge and tacit to explicit
35. Characteristics of tacit and
explicit knowledge
Tacit knowledge
Inexpressive in a
codifiable form
Subjective
Personal
Difficult to share
p.19 Hislop (2005)
Explicit knowledge
Codifiable
Objective
Impersonal
Easy to share
36. General and Specific
Knowledge
General knowledge is possessed by a large
number of individuals and can be transferred
easily across individuals
Specific knowledge, or “idiosyncratic
knowledge,” is possessed by a very limited
number of individuals, and is expensive to
transfer
Specific knowledge can be technical or
context specific
37. Technically and Contextually
Specific Knowledge
Technically specific knowledge is deep
knowledge about a specific area
Contextually specific knowledge refers to
the knowledge of particular circumstances
of time and place in which work is to be
performed
39. Expert Knowledge
It is the information woven inside the mind of an
expert for accurately and quickly solving complex
problems.
Knowledge Chunking
Knowledge is usually stored in experts long-range memory
as chunks.
Knowledge chunking helps experts to optimize their
memory capacity and enables them to process the
information quickly.
Chunks are groups of ideas that are stored and recalled
together as an unit.
40. Types of Expertise
Associational Expertise
Motor Skills Expertise
Theoretical (Deep) Expertise
41. Types of Knowledge
Simple knowledge focuses on one basic area
Complex knowledge draws upon multiple distinct areas
of expertise
Support knowledge relates to organizational
infrastructure and facilitates day-to-day operations
Tactical knowledge pertains to the short-term positioning
of the organization relative to its markets, competitors,
and suppliers
Strategic knowledge pertains to the long-term positioning
of the organization in terms of its corporate vision and
strategies for achieving that vision
43. Conclusions
Knowledge is different from data &
information
Knowledge in an area can be defined as
justified beliefs about relationships among
concepts relevant to that particular area
Knowledge can be of different types
Knowledge has several characteristics
Knowledge resides is several different places
