ISSUES

  • Lack of resources
  • Time consuming
  • Financial constraint
  • Technological advancement
  • Organizational culture

The Information Age

K-Economy

Knowledge will not kill convensational industries but diversify them

In the K- Economy we buy sell “congealed (solid) knowledge”- a lot of intellectual content in a physical slipcase( the cost of computer chip is incurred on R & D)

The success of K-Economy depends on new skills & new kinds of organisations & management

K-Company

Making business out of knowledge

Services industry

More Companies invest in information technology

The danger of information

No system support

Lack of manpower

Financial constraint

Challenges/Bariers

KM is expensive- expense on technology, implementing corporate culture, revitalizing employees reward culture

Seen therefore raise- skepticism among upper management

Incompatible combination on technology and people

Sharing knowledge : the new way of thinking

Knowledge markets not hierarchies

Organizational politics come into play when knowledge exists is used and is exchanged

Advantages of KM Practises

Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it

Tacit knowledge is mobile

Knowledge integration is the engine of economic prosperity

Unpredictable markets necessitate ‘organized abandonment’

KM lets you lead the change so that change does not lead you

Cross-industry amalgamation is breeding complexity
