Information Technology (IT) Development Strategy of STIE INABA in the Perspec...AJHSSR Journal
Strategic planning is a relatively new concept for non-profit organizations (Bryson (1995) and
Nawawi (2000)). Strategic planning is needed in order that organizations can offer better service quality for their
customers and for the sustainability of their organizations. Nonprofit organizations have people who are focused
on achieving specific goals of their organizations (Ireland: 1999: 96-99). Their activities are indeed limited to
the budget and a constant need to raise funds through donations and assistance. When discussing about quality,
the first thing to consider is to get rid of the notions1) that nonprofit organizations cannot work like business
organizations, 2) that non-profit organizations cannot measure their performance, and 3) that quality
improvement techniques cannot be applied to non-profit organizations.
This research was in the form of a case study with Sekolah Tinggi Indonesia Membangun (STIE INABA) as the
research subject. The research method used was research and development. Research and development can be
defined as a process or steps to develop a new product or improve existing products that are accountable.
Based on the results of the analysis of the data collected, it can be concluded that the performance measurements
that had been applied produced less information and less effective strategic planning. IT Balance Scorecard was
used to analyze the relevance of the performance measurement indicators that had been established with the
Vision, Mission, and strategic objectives of STIE INABA. STIE INABA needs to build an information system
in the form of E-learning to support teaching and learning activities

Engineering a Woman: Marketing Opportunities and Challenges in IndiaPrashant Mahajan
Equity does not just mean an equal number of women and
men; it means equal chances of success and career
development; average women will succeed as much as average
men. The Indian governments initiatives like National Program
for Education of Girls at Elementary Level (NPEGEL),
Rashtriya Mahilakosh (RMK), Kasturba Gandhi Balika
Vidyalaya (KGBV), Working Women Hostels, National
Mission for Empowerment of Women (NMEW), Sarva
Shiksha Abhiyan shall be extended and oriented further more
towards engineering education for the dream come true of
Digital India and Smart Cities with more encouragement of
women in engineering. The strategic marketing aim must be to
‘normalize’ engineering as a career choice for women, so that
people inside and outside of engineering no longer presume
that ‘the engineer’ will be men. Marketing efforts to recruit
more women into engineering must avoid appealing to gender
which associate men and masculinity with ‘things technical’
and women with ‘things social’. In sum, we must broaden the
image and vision of engineering work from technical to
techno-social if we are to attract and keep talented women in
engineering. Engineering has room for diverse ‘types’ of
people because it incorporates a wide variety of jobs and roles.
Women engineering education is a multi-dimensional
phenomenon; marketing efforts to attract women in
engineering shall not be limited to the institutes/service
providers, but it shall be responsibility of the government,
NGOs and community as a whole, for India to be Super Power.
If engineering education is a signifier of development, it
should incorporate a gender perspective to it. Perhaps then, we
will see more women enjoying success and fully participating in engineering education.

Influence of Knowledge Management Processes on Organizational Performance in ...inventionjournals
This research attempts to establish a link between knowledge management processes and organizational performance in knowledge intensive service sectors. The key dimensions of knowledge management processes have been identified which could influence the organizational performance. Metric has been developed for the empirical investigation of the relationships between these research constructs. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using partial least square techniques has been used to test these hypotheses with a sample size of 491 knowledge workers (330 - Higher educational institutions and 161 from the IT companies) to investigate the empirical relationships between the factors. All the four hypotheses were supported. The testing of the hypotheses justified the identification of the key dimensions of KM as the critical success factors in terms of the organizational performance. Implications of the study would enable the strategic planning managers to make their knowledge management processes more effective so as to enhance the organizational performance
Organizations worldwide are showing increasing interest in knowledge management practices to address the contemporary challenges of today's digital age. Knowledge is becoming a critical core asset to sustain competitive advantage and as a vehicle for continuous improvement and innovation. However, most of the developments in the knowledge management field are driven by international organizations or private commercial companies. Considering the impact of knowledge management practices, government organizations have the potential for significant improvements in performance, transformation, and the development of a more responsive citizen-centric government.
This article has two objectives: The first is to provide an overview of knowledge management and highlight the importance of this field of practice, and the second is to provide a case study of the successful implementation of knowledge management in a federal government organization in the United Arab Emirates.

This paper stresses on the need of using Knowledge Management (KM) in the higher education
institutions of Saudi Arabia. The paper is based on the literature review and personal experience of the author in the education sector.The paper aims at highlighting the importance of KM for the educational institutions
particularly for developing countries. It also reviews the readiness of Saudi Arabia for KM application by illustrating different development initiatives taken by the Saudi government in different sectors. However, the literature also identifies many barriers on the way. Keeping the importance of KM for the higher education institutions in view, this paper proposes to adopt the model of Library Knowledge Management Center (LKMC) with needed
modifications for Universities of Saudi Arabia. This LKMC model was proposed by Parker,Nitse, and Flowers (2005) for the small business corporate for providing the Knowledge Management (KM) and Competitive Intelligence (CI) services. The paper discusses different components of the LKMC model and their relevance to the education sector.
An Exploratory Study on the Practices of Knowledge Management in Software Dev...ijcnes
This study explores the current trends of knowledge management system and its practices in software development organizations. This Paper identifies the approaches towards KM for knowledge acquisition, representation and sharing. Application of KM practices in the software development work are stated and analyzed. These Case studies shows current KM practices and KM implementations that are followed in software development organizations. And also specifies the KT activities involved in Knowledge sharing. Organizations follow either codification or personalization [1] strategy. Most of the Organizations mix and match the KT techniques from the KM strategies and follow their own strategy according to their convenience. Here, to implement KM strategies, how KM portals and KM systems are utilized for shortening the skill gaps among employees is also mentioned. These findings identified that organizations understand the need of knowledge sharing but knowledge acquisition, representation and sharing is not organized clearly. Few organizations are successful in knowledge management implementation.

Abstract
The 21st Century, however, presupposes an organizational systemic
preparedness for gaining and retaining competitiveness in a global and native
business scenario. Knowledge organizations bring in challenges significantly
different from what has been so far experienced. The early 20th Century
predominantly focused on the manufacturing or the production priorities of
the firm. Knowledge Management has become a major competitive tool for
the present day organizations. Knowledge management is the acquisition and
use of resources to create an environment in which information is accessible
to individuals and in which individuals acquire, share and use that
information to develop their own knowledge. Further, employees are
encouraged and enabled to apply their knowledge for the benefit of the
organization. “Only a Positive Attitude changes our life, but it will change the
world around us”. Know-how in the organization is built around four areas
of action: Responsiveness, Innovation, Competency and Efficiency. These
four areas, which is called as “RICE model”, cover all of the different ways
in which can use knowledge to help the company succeed. Responsiveness

its customers, competitors, suppliers, and others who affect – and are affected
by-the company’s performance. Innovation concerns how the company uses
ideas and information to change what it does and how it does it. Competency
concerns to the skills that the people and teams need to deliver products and

Introduction
Firms today are beginning to realize that they attract and hire top
intellectual talent only for them to manage and supervise yet another team of
knowledge workers through the organization structure. This imposes upon
senior management time and talent to focus on making such knowledge
workers to work hand in hand with colleagues to experiment and innovate, to
work in teams that have goals that cut across functions and job competencies.
The wide use of teams and their consequent effectiveness has proven beyond
doubt the success of making people work in structured as well as
unstructured environments with only their goals in perspective.
The work force in turn having realized this potential are willing to take
additional responsibilities, willing to be empowered and consequently
operate with enhanced command over with their knowledge and its
application in untested areas.
The Primary challenge of an entrepreneur is to motivate top talent; to
seize opportunities by utilizing their human resou.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Knowledge Management: Tools & Techniques
Author: R. C. Agarwal
Publisher: ABD Publishers, Jaipur, India
Edition: First-2010, Pages: 232, Price: Rs. 725
Knowledge management is the discipline which promotes a systematic way of
capturing, organizing accessing and reusing of knowledge. Looking to the vast
importance attached to the field, many organizations are turning to knowledge
management initiatives and technologies to leverage their knowledge resources.
“Knowledge management: Tools & Techniques” is an attempt to bring before the
readers various tools and strategies in Knowledge management. In this endeavor, the
book explains each tools and strategy with reference to Knowledge management in
various organization and industries. Through deep investigation, the book brings to the
fore findings through analysis of Knowledge management in many organization and
industries.
The book has been divided into eight units. The book highlights the tools and
techniques of knowledge management in different areas like Beverage Industry, Law,
Public Transport Corporation., Telecommunication Industry, Public Organization, School
and Catering Industry. Each part of the book consist of research paper, article and case
studies.
1
2. The first unit focuses on the implementation of knowledge management (KM) in
beverage industry in Asia. Various KM tools and strategies employed by food and
beverage organizations are discussed in worldwide aspect. It can help getting an
overview of the environment of the industry. Problems solved by those tools and
strategies are mentioned too. Real cases of e-learning portal establishment in an Asianbased beverage company are investigated to get deeper understanding on the
planning, implementation, maintenance and evaluation of KM project. Future
development trend of KM on an industry-wide base are covered as well.
The second unit is related to knowledge management in a Law Enforcement.
The increased adoption of information technology within law enforcement units and the
increasing of overall quality and information technology competence of law enforcement
officers, law enforcement units are well positioned to leverage knowledge management
principles and practices. This complemented by the enhanced skills, equipment and
empowerment given to the officers that will enable them to perform their duties at an
optimal level. In discussing the scope of knowledge management in law enforcement
units, Luen and Al-Hawamdeh (2001) mentioned two definitions of knowledge within the
context of knowledge management. There are two types of knowledge that need to be
managed within law enforcement units, explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge
The third unit focuses on Customer Knowledge Management (CKM) System in
a public Transport Corporation. In this unit the author has investigated how the concept
of CKM is implemented in the Asian public transport organization. An organization’s
understanding of the importance of customer knowledge will encourage the expansion
of its current knowledge management practices to beyond the organizational boundary.
The fourth unit is on role of Knowledge Management in telecommunication
industry. This report first presents briefly the importance of knowledge management to
the telecommunication industry; then it proceeds with a literature review that covers the
following
areas:
knowledge
management
strategies
and
tools,
KM
in
Telecommunication Industry, the challenges of KM in China and the future development
2
3. of knowledge management. The third part of the report is the research methods. We
adopted the case study method approach with semi-structured interview with a senior
knowledge management consultant.
The fifth unit is on Knowledge Management Strategies in Public Organization.
There is relatively little information on knowledge management in the public sectors,
thus the knowledge management theories and frameworks applied in the public sectors
are not well understood. This report aims to study on the knowledge management
strategies in public organizations in Asia.
The
sixth
unit
is
about
Strategies
and
implementation
of
KM
in
telecommunication industry In this unit case study is used to illustrate some benefits in
KM Implementation like knowledge sharing allows staff tom learn other’s experience
and e-learning cultivates the self –learning motivation.
The author focuses on the tools and strategies the various organizations
employed and how the operational problems being solved and the improvement being
made after engaging such tools and strategies. The review also discusses the future
trend and development of knowledge management.
The seventh unit is related to KM in a school. A secondary school in Hong Kong is
used to see how KM support leaning and teaching. Although there has been a great
deal of recognition in the business world that information and knowledge management
can be vital tools in organizations, it is only recently that educational administrators and
teachers have begun to look at how they might use information systems to assist in
creating effective learning environments. This chapter explores how knowledge
management can be applied into school environment.
The last unit is about Knowledge management in Catering Industry. This unit
focuses how KM is important for facing competition and survives. In this section the
Chinese dining corporation is studied to find out how KM is implemented in catering
industry.
In my view, this book is a significant development for the field of knowledge.
Areas like Beverage Industry, Law, Public Transport Telecommunication, Catering and
3
4. school is cover in this book. In this book new concepts are explained with additional
examples. The main limitation of the book is that all the cases and papers discussed in
this book is not related with Indian context. The language used in some units is also not
clear. There is also problem of organization of various units. Other important area like
marketing, HRM Government sector etc. should also be used for making the book more
effective.
The overall book is view is good .The book is based on KM research and details how to
develop a meaningful and measurable KM strategy. I found particularly helpful the
detailed discussion in the various chapters of the book
