12 Principles Of Knowledge Management By Enamul HaqueEnamul Haque
There is little doubt that we have entered the knowledge economy where what organisations know is becoming more important than the traditional sources of economic power – capital, land, plant and labour – which they command.
When people are given access to the information and resources they need to complete a task, they can finish it more quickly and effectively.
An engineer selecting a part for a sensor, a scientist analyzing data from an experiment, a manager selecting among various new technologies—all these actions are more likely to succeed if the people have access to relevant information about what has worked before and who has made the same analyses.
Knowledge management applications are the key to helping bring the right information to the right people at the right time to make the right decision.
The document discusses knowledge management, defining it as providing and managing procedures for internal and external information sources, documentation, and knowledge in order to store, provide, and manage it to improve employee performance and business results. It describes types of knowledge, mechanisms of knowledge management including tools, techniques, and making organizations learning organizations. It also discusses some knowledge management practices and processes and technological tools to manage knowledge.

The document outlines factors important for a knowledge management strategy like organizational culture and processes. It also examines knowledge management models, processes, tools, and failure factors. The goal is to give both students and practitioners an understanding of knowledge management theories, frameworks and best practices.
This document discusses several theories of knowledge management. It introduces the multi-perspective theory, which views knowledge management from technical, organizational, and personal perspectives. It also describes the triology model, which includes the OODA loop model, SECI model, and Oinas-Kakkonen model for understanding knowledge management processes. Finally, it discusses the KISARD model and knowledge management hypercube strategy.
This document discusses different types of knowledge. It begins by defining data, information, and knowledge. Data are raw facts and observations, information is processed data with context and purpose, and knowledge is a justified true belief.
The document then covers subjective and objective views of knowledge. The subjective view is that knowledge is socially constructed, while the objective view is that knowledge can be structured and transferred. It also discusses types of knowledge such as tacit vs explicit, general vs specific, declarative vs procedural, and expertise.
Finally, the document briefly touches on other knowledge reservoirs, characteristics, and types such as complex vs simple knowledge and strategic vs tactical knowledge.
The document discusses the meaning of knowledge and wisdom. It defines knowledge as facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education, while wisdom involves analyzing and applying knowledge to understand why things are a certain way. The document also discusses the differences between knowledge workers and wisdom workers, with knowledge workers focusing more on applying theoretical knowledge and wisdom workers focusing more on understanding why. Finally, the document discusses knowledge management and wisdom management, with knowledge management focusing on capturing and sharing explicit knowledge and wisdom management aiming to develop implicit understanding.
Knowledge management (KM) involves systematically creating, capturing, sharing, and analyzing an organization's knowledge to directly improve performance. KM aims to get the right information to the right people at the right time through tools and processes that identify, create, distribute, and enable the adoption of insights and experiences. The goal of KM is to improve innovation, sharing of lessons learned, and competitive advantage through continuous organizational improvement and management of knowledge as a strategic asset.
This document discusses the role of organizational culture in knowledge management. It begins with definitions of knowledge management and discusses how it can benefit organizations by increasing efficiency, effectiveness, expertise and customer satisfaction. It then explains how knowledge in organizations can be either explicit or tacit. The document also discusses different frameworks for understanding organizational culture, such as the competing values framework, and how culture can impact a organization's approach to knowledge management, whether it takes a process-based approach that relies on formal systems or a practice-based approach that focuses on informal knowledge sharing. Finally, the document analyzes some case examples of knowledge management initiatives within a company and how cultural factors may have influenced their success or challenges.
The document compares the performance of single stage and double stage interleavers in communication systems using turbo codes.

This document discusses using decision feedback equalization to enhance the performance of optical communication systems. It proposes using a fractionally spaced decision feedback equalizer (FSDFE) combined with activity detection guidance (ADG) and tap decoupling (TD) to improve the equalizer's effectiveness. The FSDFE replaces the symbol spaced feedback filter with a fractionally spaced feedback filter to enhance stability, steady-state error performance, and convergence rate. Adding ADG and TD further improves the steady-state error performance and convergence rate by detecting active taps in the channel impulse response. Simulation results show the FSDFE with ADG and TD offers superior performance to the FSDFE without these techniques, with improved compensation of amplitude distortion.
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the design of an automobile connecting rod using finite element analysis to optimize it for high cycle fatigue strength.

This document analyzes the seismic and wind effects on steel silo supporting structures. It compares a braced frame structure to an unbraced frame structure. Dynamic analysis was performed using equivalent static and response spectrum methods for earthquake zone V according to Indian codes. The braced system had a higher fundamental natural period and higher base shear values compared to the unbraced system, indicating it provided greater stiffness. The braced system also had lower lateral displacements, showing it performed better under dynamic loading. Overall, the analysis found the braced system to be more economical and effective at resisting seismic and wind loads compared to the unbraced alternative.
This document discusses the design and optimization of a steel structure for supporting solar electrical panels. It begins by introducing steel structures and their advantages. It then discusses the existing traditional design process used by manufacturers, which tends to result in overdesigned and heavy structures without using analytical methods. The goal of the project is to introduce finite element analysis to provide a more optimized design that is lighter, lower cost and meets load requirements. Various steel sections will be analyzed and compared in ANSYS to determine the most effective cross section. The analysis will look at deflection, weight and cost to identify a design that maximizes stiffness while minimizing materials usage and expenses. The expected results are an optimized structural design for supporting electrical control panels that uses less material and reduces
This document summarizes various methods used to remove metal artifacts from dental CT images. It discusses projection completion methods, filtered back projection, maximum likelihood transmission, iterative reconstruction, and linear interpolation methods. The majority of metal artifact reduction methods involve reconstructing images while accounting for metal objects. Key steps include identifying metal regions, interpolating or weighting missing projection data, and iteratively reconstructing images until artifacts are reduced. Compressed sensing methods can also exploit sparsity to reduce artifacts with fewer angular projections.

An Analytical Study on Knowledge Sharing within the Organizationijcnes
The better management of knowledge within the organization will lead to improved innovation and competitive advantage. The main goal of the firm� better utilization of internal and external knowledge. This core knowledge is found in individuals, communities of interest and their connections. An organization�s data is found in its computer systems but a company�s intelligence is found, in its biological and social systems. Though it is acclaimed as a good method, there are some setbacks in the process of knowledge sharing[KS] among the employees. This paper explores the possible ways to establish organization using social computing tools to facilitate Knowledge Sharing and create a social data mining among all the members of organization. Social Data Mining Network Analysis (SDMNA) techniques have been used to study KS patterns which take place between employees and departments. This SDMNA graph reveals the structure of social data mining network highlighting connectivity, clustering and strength of relationships between employees.
This document proposes five guidelines for implementing knowledge management in higher education. The guidelines are: 1) Develop organizational knowledge by converting tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. 2) Conduct a gap analysis to identify variances between requirements and capabilities. 3) Develop a knowledge management culture that rewards knowledge sharing. 4) Develop knowledge management leadership throughout the organization. 5) Implement an efficient knowledge management model, such as a batch model, to organize information.

Assessing The Tangible And Intangible Impacts Of The Convergence Of E-Learnin...ijistjournal
This document discusses the convergence of e-learning and knowledge management. It outlines similarities and differences between the two, including that they both focus on learning and knowledge acquisition but e-learning is more static while knowledge management is dynamic. The document also discusses issues with converging the two, such as overcoming cultural barriers to knowledge sharing and difficulties measuring the value of knowledge assets. Overall, the convergence of e-learning and knowledge management aims to improve organizational learning and decision-making through more effective sharing of knowledge resources.
Assessing The Tangible And Intangible Impacts Of The Convergence Of E-Learnin...ijistjournal
Learning comes through creating and applying knowledge, whilst learning increases an individual's and organization's knowledge asset. Both e-learning and knowledge management feed off the same root: learning, improved capacity to perform work tasks, ability to make effective decisions, and positively impact the world around us. The difference between KM and e-learning is a function of time; knowledge management is dynamic, e-learning is static. As a medium, e-learning allows for the sharing of knowledge that has been tested, researched and organized. Knowledge management is much livelier. Conversations and sharing understanding happens in real time. Through KM, tacit understanding can be communicated, problems can be jointly solved, and serendipitous connections are formed. KM is chaotic, current. KM is ecology; e-learning is the architecture. E-learning courses become outdated, while KM environments are continually fresh and reflective of current activity in a field. Anyway, the strengths of the two fields need to be brought together. KM should feed into e-learning in order for the content of the "course" to remain fresh and to tap learners into a sustained knowledge environment after the course is done and e-learning should feed into the KM environment to provide easy mechanisms for organizing information in the manner that most of the people function. There‟s no doubt that converging this two technology creates bigger impact in the learning process, but our discussion is focused to justify whether the convergence creates better value or not. In the light of the discussion, the conceptual link between these two key technologies has been drawn and several related issues are discussed.

application and usage of knowledge. The study is also aimed to understand the role of organizational culture in
deriving the firms sustainability.
This document summarizes a research paper that examines pricing strategy in a two-stage supply chain consisting of a supplier and retailer. The supplier offers a credit period to the retailer, who then offers credit to customers. A mathematical model is formulated to maximize total profit for the integrated supply chain system. The model considers three cases based on the relative lengths of the credit periods offered at each stage. Equations are developed to represent the profit functions for the supplier, retailer and overall system in each case. The goal is to determine the optimal selling price that maximizes total integrated profit.
The document discusses melanoma skin cancer detection using a computer-aided diagnosis system based on dermoscopic images. It begins with an introduction to skin cancer and melanoma. It then reviews existing literature on automated melanoma detection systems that use techniques like image preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. Features extracted in other studies include asymmetry, border irregularity, color, diameter and texture-based features. The proposed system collects dermoscopic images and performs preprocessing, segmentation, extracts 9 features based on the ABCD rule, and classifies images using a neural network classifier to detect melanoma. It aims to develop an automated diagnosis system to eliminate invasive biopsy procedures.
This document summarizes various techniques for image segmentation that have been studied and proposed in previous research. It discusses edge-based, threshold-based, region-based, clustering-based, and other common segmentation methods. It also reviews applications of segmentation in medical imaging, plant disease detection, and other fields. While no single technique can segment all images perfectly, hybrid and adaptive methods combining multiple approaches may provide better results. Overall, image segmentation remains an important but challenging task in digital image processing and computer vision.
This document presents a test for detecting a single upper outlier in a sample from a Johnson SB distribution when the parameters of the distribution are unknown. The test statistic proposed is based on maximum likelihood estimates of the four parameters (location, scale, and two shape) of the Johnson SB distribution. Critical values of the test statistic are obtained through simulation for different sample sizes. The performance of the test is investigated through simulation, showing it performs well at detecting outliers when the contaminant observation represents a large shift from the original distribution parameters. An example application to census data is also provided.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a portable device called the "Disha Device" to improve women's safety. The device has features like live location tracking, audio/video recording, automatic messaging to emergency contacts, a buzzer, flashlight, and pepper spray. It is designed using an Arduino microcontroller connected to GPS and GSM modules. When the button is pressed, it sends an alert message with the woman's location, sets off an alarm, activates the flashlight and pepper spray for self-defense. The goal is to provide women a compact, one-click safety system to help them escape dangerous situations or call for help with just a single press of a button.

Bending moments, shear forces, and section properties are calculated and tabulated for 'I'-section with top and bottom plates, symmetrical plate girder, 'I'-section with 'C'-section top flange, plate girder with rolled 'C'-section top flange, and unsymmetrical plate girder sections. Graphs of steel weight required per meter length are presented. The 'I'-section with 'C'-section top flange profile is found to be optimized for biaxial bending but rolled sections may not be available for all spans.
This document summarizes research on analyzing the first ply failure of laminated composite skew plates under concentrated load using finite element analysis. It first describes how a finite element model was developed using shell elements to analyze skew plates of varying skew angles, laminations, and boundary conditions. Three failure criteria (maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Wu) were used to evaluate first ply failure loads. The minimum load from the criteria was taken as the governing failure load. The research aims to determine the effects of various parameters on first ply failure loads and validate the numerical approach through benchmark problems.
This document summarizes a study that investigated the larvicidal effects of Aegle marmelos (bael tree) leaf extracts on Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Specifically, it assessed the efficacy of methanol extracts from A. marmelos leaves in killing A. aegypti larvae (at the third instar stage) and altering their midgut proteins. The study found that the leaf extract achieved 50% larval mortality (LC50) at a concentration of 49 ppm. Proteomic analysis of larval midguts revealed changes in protein expression levels after exposure to the extract, suggesting its bioactive compounds can disrupt the midgut. The aim is to identify specific inhibitor proteins in the midg
This document presents a system for classifying electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The system first preprocesses raw ECG data by removing noise and segmenting the signals. It then uses a CNN to extract features directly from the ECG data and classify arrhythmias without requiring complex feature engineering. The CNN architecture contains 11 convolutional layers and is optimized using techniques like batch normalization and dropout. The system was tested on ECG datasets and achieved classification accuracy of over 93%, demonstrating its effectiveness at automated ECG classification.
This document presents a new algorithm for extracting and summarizing news from online newspapers. The algorithm first extracts news related to the topic using keyword matching. It then distinguishes different types of news about the same topic. A term frequency-based summarization method is used to generate summaries. Sentences are scored based on term frequency and the highest scoring sentences are selected for the summary. The algorithm was evaluated on news datasets from various newspapers and showed good performance in intrinsic evaluation metrics like precision, recall and F-score. Thus, the proposed method can effectively extract and summarize online news for a given keyword or topic.

ABSTARCT:
Knowledge management is not one single discipline. Rather, it an integration of numerous endeavors and
field of industry. This paper has tried to cover different aspects of Knowledge Management (KM) and its
applications. This paper states that Knowledge Management the value of knowledge is a cross-
disciplinary domain. In this we have described the general knowledge model in detail. Knowledge
creation and knowledge sharing is also described. The knowledge management initiatives in India is
mentioned.
Keywords: Knowledge Management, Knowledge sharing, Knowledge creation.
1. INTRODUCTION
Knowledge and Knowledge management are concepts, which are debated extensively by managers, analyst
and academicians. Managers ask for more information to support decisions. This led to the use of IT
(Information Technology) to build transaction support system, management information systems and data
warehouses resulting in too much information, which has neither helped the managers nor provided any value to
the organizations. Data leads to information, but what organizations were really looking for was knowledge
When we refer to knowledge, most of us mainly tend to think of codified and documented knowledge like
patents, databases, manuals, white papers etc. With this “explicit knowledge” is important, what is even more
important and value adding from the perspective of competitive advantage is the “ tacit knowledge” which is
embedded in the minds of the people. The tacit knowledge is intuitive, contextual, linked to experience, past
memories and difficult to codify, document and communicate. It is estimated that this tacit knowledge
constitutes between 70 and 80% of all knowledge in an organization and is difficult to identify, quantify, and
convert into real value, unless a structured approach is adopted to manage knowledge.
Unfortunately, there is no universal definition of Knowledge Management (KM), just as there’s no
agreement as to what constitutes knowledge in the first place. For this reason, it’s best to think of KM in the
broadest context. KM is the process through which organizations generate value from their intellectual and
knowledge-based assets. It is the practice of harnessing and exploiting intellectual capital to gain competitive
advantage and customer commitment through efficiency, innovation and faster and more effective decision-
making. Most often, generating value from such assets involves sharing them among employees, departments
and even with other companies in an effort to devise best practices. It is important to note that the definition says
nothing about technology, while KM is often facilitated by IT; technology by itself is not KM.
Knowledge management is a cross-disciplinary domain. Library professionals are already ushered into
knowledge management activities and practices and the paradigm shift that is taking place whereby libraries are
getting transformed into knowledge management centers. KM will inject new blood into the library culture. The
main contents include: mutual trust, Open exchange, studying, sharing and developing knowledge operations
mechanism of libraries, enjoying the KM process. Customer’s delighters, staff’s quality and enrichment as well
as an all-round improvement of library starting from house keeping activities to knowledge marketing will
become important objectives of KM in Business and Management Libraries.

Managing this knowledge is a difficult task. Knowledge management (KM) is all about managing
organization’s knowledge effectively by sharing and having a systematic activity for creation of knowledge and
exploiting it for the market and benefit of the organization. KM techniques and processes provide such a
structured approach to explicate a significant part of this tactic knowledge document in knowledge repositories
and also share in teams, through intensive dialogue and discussions. KM refers to the critical issues of
organizational adaptation, survival and competence against discontinuous environmental change.[ 5]
2. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE MODEL
Knowledge flows comprise the set of processes, events and activities through which data, information,
knowledge and meta-knowledge are transformed from one state to another.
The General Knowledge model is shown as;
Fig. General Knowledge Model
Knowledge Creation: This comprises activities associated with the entry of new knowledge into the system,
and includes knowledge development, discovery and capture.
Knowledge Retention: This includes all activities that preserve knowledge and allow it to remain in the system
once introduced. It also includes those activities that maintain the viability of knowledge within the system.
Knowledge Transfer: This refers to activities associated with the flow of knowledge from one party to another.
This includes communication, translation, conversion, filtering and rendering.
Knowledge Utilization: This includes the activities and events connected with the application of knowledge to
business processes.
The General Knowledge Model sequences the activity areas in a deterministic fashion. In reality, though, all
but the most rigorously automated knowledge flows comprise complex systems that are built mostly from
asynchronous processes. The model is valuable precisely because it relates the individual, highly dynamic

behaviors and processes to general activity areas and, by association, to each other. Various theories of learning,
problem solving and cognition may imply specific activity patterns, but they are usually not required to organize
the key relationships and dependencies among the activity areas. The model allows analysts to trace individual
knowledge flows by helping them to examine and understand how knowledge enables specific actions and
decisions.
Within each activity phase exists other, smaller knowledge flows and cycles. These layers span a wide
range of macro- and micro-behaviors, ranging from broad organizational and multi-organizational processes to
discrete actions and decisions, and include all the various intervening layers: activities, tasks, workflows,
systems, interfaces and transformations.
3. WHAT IS KM
Knowledge management is about using the brain power of an organization in a systematic and organized
manner in order to achieve efficiencies, ensure competitive advantage, and spur innovation. [8]
Knowledge management is essentially about facilitating the processes by which knowledge is created,
shared and used in organisations. It is not about setting up a new department or getting in a new computer
system. It is about making small changes to the way everyone in the organisation works. There are many ways
of looking at knowledge management and different organisations will take different approaches. Generally
speaking, creating a knowledge environment usually requires changing organisational values and culture,
changing people’s behaviors and work patterns, and providing people with easy access to each other and to
relevant information resources.
In terms of how that is done, the processes of knowledge management are many and varied. As knowledge
management is a relatively new concept, organisations are still finding their way and so there is no single agreed
way forward or best practice. This is a time of much trial and error. Similarly, to simply copy the practices of
another organisation would probably not work because each organisation faces a different set of knowledge
management problems and challenges. Knowledge management is essentially about people – how they create,
share and use knowledge, and so no knowledge management tool will work if it is not applied in a manner that
is sensitive to the ways people think and behave. [8]
4. NEED OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
Knowledge management is based on the idea that an organisation’s most valuable resource is the knowledge
of its people. This is not a new idea – organisations have been managing “human resources” for years. What is
new is the focus on knowledge. This focus is being driven by the accelerated rate of change in today’s
organisations and in society as a whole. Knowledge management recognizes that today nearly all jobs involve
“knowledge work” and so all staff are “knowledge workers” to some degree or another – meaning that their job
depends more on their knowledge than their manual skills. This means that creating, sharing and using
knowledge are among the most important activities of nearly every person in every organisation.
It is easy to see the importance of knowledge in the health sector. As clinicians, managers and other
practitioners, we all rely on what we know to do our jobs effectively.
Do we know everything we need to know or are there gaps in our knowledge? Of course there are. Medical
advances are being made all the time so there is always new knowledge to be learned. Government policies are
constantly evolving, as are management practices. The current modernization programme requires us to let go of
what we knew and to learn and apply new knowledge. Changing doctor-patient relationships are requiring us to
revisit our whole approach to the provision of health care. And of course, every new patient that comes through
our door brings a potential new learning opportunity. [8]

There is sufficient evidence of many companies who have benefited from KM initiatives. Based on these
experiences, KM experts argue that, for organizations and institutes to be successful and competitive today, they
need to continually engage in 2 activities:
A. Find effective way to translate the institution’s ongoing experience to knowledge
B. Transferring and leveraging companies and institutions knowledge across time and space (Thru Internet
technologies) while transferring knowledge for better leverage, it is necessary to consider the following
key issues:-
• Find a method for transferring the knowledge to a group or individual who can reuse it.
• Translate what has been learned into a form that others can use.
• The receiving team or individual adapts the knowledge for use in a particular context.
• The iterative process where the receiving team or individual takes action on a new task by using the
organizational or the institutional knowledge, and again this experience goes into KM as afuture
learning [7]
5. KNOWLEDGE CREATION
Knowledge creation involves the activities which result in conversion of knowledge. The process of
conversion exists tacit knowledge creation, moving from tacit to explicit knowledge and using explicit
knowledge to create new tacit knowledge through sharing and thinking.
6. KNOWLEDGE SHARING
Sharing knowledge requires a different kind of environment a unique combination of information system
and human to reduce the knowledge between gap. Knowledge sharing requires different sets of tools and mind-
set that appreciates the following:
1. Knowledge/ Learning is by people i.e., it is a human activity
2. Thinking creates knowledge
3. Knowledge is created as it gets used and is dynamic. It moves through Organization and Communities
in many ways.[5]
7. WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE
Academics have debated the meaning of “knowledge” since the word was invented, but let’s not get into that
here. A dictionary definition is “the facts, feelings or experiences known by a person or group of people”
(Collins English Dictionary). Knowledge is derived from information but it is richer and more meaningful than
information. It includes familiarity, awareness and understanding gained through experience or study, and
results from making comparisons, identifying consequences, and making connections. Some experts include
wisdom and insight in their definitions of knowledge. In organisational terms, knowledge is generally thought of
as being “know how”, or “applied action”. The last point is an important one. Today’s organisations contain a
vast amount of knowledge and the NHS is certainly no exception. However, in applying knowledge
management principles and practices in our organisation, knowledge is not our end, but the means for further
action. What we are trying to do is to use our knowledge to get better at doing what we do, i.e. health care and
health care improvement. [8]
8. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES IN INDIA
The KM Initiatives has started in different sectors of the economy. They may be categorized as follows:
(i) Initiatives at the Corporate level;
(ii) Initiatives at the R& D level;
(iii) Initiatives at the NGO level;
(iv) Financial Institution level initiatives
(v) Initiatives at the Academic Institution level

9. CONCLUSION
This paper has tried to cover different aspects of Knowledge Management. It has been observed that KM for
corporate is mainly for getting competitive advantages over the rival companies. In developed countries this
culture is running for quite some time where as in developing countries especially in India it is slowly picking
up. A KM initiative in different sectors of the economy in India is mentioned.
