Advances in Knowledge Management: University Research Toward an Academic Discipline

Institutions of higher learning are continuously striving to create and sustain excellence. In this endeavor, one of the major initiatives is to harness the available inputs i.e., the in-house resources and put the same to optimal use. In organizations of higher learning, knowledge creation and dissemination are the assets of the institution. The Department of Commerce and Management at Jyoti Nivas College has initiated the formation of COPs .These COPs are created by the workforce among themselves. It is not handed down from the top level management. It fits into the framework of a ‘peer group' which can function as an informal community of peers and which can evolve into an institutionalized forum for interactions that creates and generates knowledge. In these COPs parallel or concurrent thought process happens, wherein, decentralization increases, dependence on one person as source for ideas reduces. These communities' sharing activity can be taken up at academic research community, researcher's group on KM. It is a step towards collaborative learning.

Health And Social Care

Purpose The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it suggests that knowledge management (KM), as an academic discipline and managerial practice, provides valuable perspectives and tools to help health and social care management cope with both existing and future challenges. Second, it reviews the existing evidence on the effects of KM on the management of health and social care. Based on the results of the review, an evaluation framework for the effects of KM is proposed. Design/methodology/approach The literature review was conducted using the guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement to search the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. The search terms included “knowledge management”, “healthcare” and “effect.” Academic articles published between 2010 and 2020 were included. Findings The study identifies six main categories among the effects of KM on the management of health and social care as follows: enhanced understanding of customer needs, improved organizational performance, better targeted decision-making, improved quality of service, behavioral or cultural change and improved risk management. Originality/value This study contributes by summarizing the literature on the effects of KM on the management of health and social care and proposing avenues for future research in this area.
