ABOUT K.I.D:

KNOWLEDGE:

The use of knowledge means sharing the knowledge between others. In the sense we gain the knowledge from others and share with others.If we share the knowledge we gain the knowledge and we can able to know more and more different things from others.For example in India the people from villages today also they dont know how to read a newspaper so in that case share the knowledge with them and help them out to read and help others .By doing so they can able to read and can able to know the information around the world .And it help him to survey where ever he goes in the world .So this is the use of knowledge when we share with others.The missues of knowledge is some people like scientist they work hard to get a formula .If he is success in that it would help others.But some missuse there formula for others for money at that moment he think about him and his family .In this way they missuse the knowledge.

DATA:

Data is nothing but analysing the factor.The data is a raw material it can be numbers, words,or images.According to the computer there is a assembly language called binary code it accepts only '0' and '1' .Data is defined as the lowest level of abstraction from which knowledge and information is derived.My view on data is nothing but analysing and taking decision.
Example:any images ,and any words collected without knowing about it.
The missuse of data in construction business when he applies for the tender leaking the number of its budget to other business man then there is a scope to loose its tender and he may get lose by doing that. In this way the data is missused.

INFORMATION:Re-arranging the data is nothing but information. My view on information is that getting proper shape for data and communicating with others we get required information
Example:Suppose we get the mails it is a data if we get a complete information of mail like delievered by, time, and the required matter is called information.
the missuse of information for example if exams are going on if one student help the other one to copy his answer then it is a missuse of information to other. By doing that he may clear the exam but he wont able to gain the knowledge, or information, and this leeds to his bright future. In this way the information is missused.

LIFE CYCLE OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT:

The knowledge life cycle is of five type
according to(Birkinshaw and Sheehan, 2002) they are
  • Acquire
  • Store
  • Refine
  • Distribute
  • Present
  • According to me Knowledge should acquired and it should be stored in our minds and when people with lack of knowledge we should be capable to distribute our knowledge and help them to gain the knowledge.Knowledge is nothing but just like and input and output and our brain is like a locker where we store our knowledge and when necessary we should distribute to others. For Example :If we take the life cycle of knowledge management in Banking sector it acquires the customers and it saves the money and information of each customer .And it rotates the customers money with different people it is also a type managing or distributing the money and it issues the loan(presenting) this all come under knowledge management.The life cycle of knowledge management in a banking sector is
  • Account
  • Giving loans
  • Credit and debit cards
  • Internet banking
  • Mobile banking
  • lockers
  • ATM
The life cycle of Management is different for different sectors.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Definition:

Knowledge management is defined as: "the systematic, explict, and deliberate building,renewal,and application of knowledge to maximise enterprise's knowledge-related effectiveness and return from the knowledge assets"(wiig, 1993).

According to sveiby(1998) defines knowledge management as 'the art of creating value from organization's intangible asset's. He identifies two main tracks of knowledge management activities:one track focus on knowledge management as the management of information and other track as the management of people.

Knowledge Management

Track/Level

IT-Track
Knowledge = Object

People-Track
Knowledge = Process


Organisation Level
"Re-engineers"

"Organisation Theorists"


Individual Level
"AI-specialists"
"E-specialists"
"Psychologists"

Knowledge Management Levels
Reference:http://www.sveiby.com/Portals/0/articles/KnowledgeManagement.html

I agree with the author Wiig Knowledge is like an give an take policy we should share among different people from different regions .It help us to explict ourselves in the organization and it help us to buid our carrier. The name knowledge management itself says that "something" to manage in an enterprises level. For example if we take an enterprises level like a call centre receiving the In bound calls and delievering the required information what the customer expect and satisfying them is a type of managing the knowledge.In this way we share the knowledge and it help us to build the knowledge.

According to sveiby management is of two types i agree with him because there are IT KM=Managing the information and other is People track KM= Managing the people.If we fail to follow any one of these track then it leads to down the organization from the present competition. According to the IT KM= Object and "Re-engineering" .For e.g. the development of IT in banking sector has developed a vast when compared to the past.Now if we take any banking sector we can see that all information of the customer is data based.But in the past they were manuall. In the present the customer do his banking service through phone or through internet banking .This is the good example how IT KM is developing day by day in present days.And the other is people KM=Management of people. To them the Researches and the practioners tend to have their education in philosophy, psycology, business/management. They are mainly involved in assesing, changing and improving human individual skills and/or behaviour. To them Knowledge= Process a complex set of dynamic skills, know-how that is constantly changing.And how they are creating a new knowledge and sharing it with other is known as process.Any one can buy "KM" software but few have an ability to create an sustainable creative organization.

Organisation

ORGANIZATION

The organisation is a social arrangement and it has some collective goals and it can control its own performance and it has a boundary which separate from the environment.The researches from social sciences had studied the organisation and had a several disciplines and most common are sociology,economics,political science,psychology,management,and organisation communication.The commonly referred broad area are organisation studies, organisation behavior or analyzing the organisation.In organisation there are different theories to perspective exist ,which are compatible, and some other are competing.
My view on organization is each and every country has its own organization For example if we take organization of India is different from Other countries. If we take an organization like BANKING Sector the banks in india and the banks in uk they have different organization rules.For example the banks provide a seperate room for cash machines with a security guard out side the door and he guards us and he provide a security to machine and help the people when there is a problem with machine.And one bank debit card is used in other bank cash machine they charge for the transaction.And when compared to Uk cash machine they are inside the wall .And there is no transaction fee while drawing the money from any cash machine with named link. This are two different organisation among the banking sector.

STRATEGY
The strategy is nothing but it is a long term planned derived to achieve some particular goals.The strategy planning is different for different companies and one cannot follow the strategy of others.There are different types of strategy like,business strategy,economic strategy,military strategy,political strategy,and genral strategy.

Example: china took a strategic plan to attack on us during first world war on pentagon.It is not easy to attack on us as it is big and developed country. But after attack on pentagon the us government took a long strategic plan and attacked on china with nuclear attack on hiroshima and Nagasaki on[6 and 9th Aug 1945] after attack on pentagon it took us a long strategy plan to attack on china.So each countries took long strategy plan to attack on each other.

COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE(COP):

The concept of a community of practice (often abbreviated as CoP) refers to the process of social learning that occurs and shared sociocultural practices that emerge and evolve when people who have common goals interact as they strive towards those goals.

The term was founded on the work of a few cognitive anthropologists, namely Barbara Rogoff(1985) and Jean Lave,who attempted to explain and describe learning that occurs in apprenticeship situations. Later, Lave, in collaboration with Etiene Wenger (1991) originated the construct participation in their studies of five apprenticeship situations: midwives in the Yucatan, Vai and Gola tailors, naval quartermasters, meat cutters, and a group of alcoholics anonymous. From their development of legitimate peripheral participation, they created the term community of practice to refer to communities of practitioners into which newcomers would enter and attempt to acquire the sociocultural practices of the community.
