Application Cases in Non-Profits

This chapter concentrates on knowledge flow diagnosis and intervention in the private, non-profit sector. The authors look at a national youth soccer organization. The discussion turns then to examine a local tennis club. The final case describes a nondenominational community church. In each case, they draw in part from secondary data sources for background. This should prove helpful to the reader who is interested in following up to consider more details than presented in this volume. The authors also draw considerably from their own research and personal experience to fill in missing information, and they apply principles and techniques of this book to contribute new insights through examination of knowledge flows in the cases. Each application case concludes with exercises to stimulate critical thought, learning, and discussion. In conjunction with the principles articulated in Section 1 of the book, the application cases explain how organizations from across a very wide range of sizes and domains both succeed and fail at harnessing dynamic knowledge; hence, through case-based reasoning, they provide both positive and negative examples for the leader and manager to use in comparison with his or her own organization.

This chapter concentrates on knowledge-flow diagnosis and intervention in the private, not-for-profit sector. We look first at a national youth soccer organization. The discussion turns then to examine a local tennis club. The final case examines a nondenominational community church. In each case, we draw in part from secondary data sources for the background. This should prove helpful to the reader who is interested in following up to consider more details than presented in this volume. Here we also draw considerably from our own research and personal experience to fill in missing information, and we apply principles and techniques of this book to contribute new insights through examination of knowledge flows in the cases. Each application case concludes with exercises to stimulate critical thought, learning, and discussion.


This chapter concentrates on knowledge flow visualization and analysis in the public sector. The authors look at a military organization involved with maritime warfare. The discussion turns then to examine a federal government agency involved with a knowledge management program. The third case examines a public service organization involved with large-scale IT integration. In each case, the authors draw from secondary data sources for background. This should prove helpful to the reader who is interested in following up to consider more details than presented in this volume. They draw also from their own research and professional experience to fill in missing information, and they apply principles and techniques of this book to contribute new insights through examination of knowledge flows in the cases. Each application case concludes with exercises to stimulate critical thought, learning, and discussion. In conjunction with the principles articulated in Section 1 of the book, the application cases explain how organizations from across a very wide range of sizes and domains both succeed and fail at harnessing dynamic knowledge; hence, through case-based reasoning, they provide both positive and negative examples for the leader and manager to use in comparison with his or her own organization.


This chapter concentrates on knowledge flow visualization and analysis in the for-profit business sector. The authors look at an advanced-technology company involved with new-product development. The discussion turns then to examine an independent production company involved with a feature film. The third case involves a technology-transfer project between a university and a microelectronics company. In each case, they draw from secondary data sources for background. This should prove helpful to the reader who is interested in following up to consider more details than presented in this volume. The authors draw also from their own research and professional experience to fill in missing information, and they apply principles and techniques of this book to contribute new insights through examination of knowledge flows in the cases.

The frequent use of past experience by human engineers when solving new problems has led to an interest in the use of case based reasoning (CBR) to help automate engineering design. In engineering design it often occurs that many past exp eriences must be combined to solve a new problem, and thus the process of case based adaptation must efficiently and systematically combine information from many sources. We have developed a constraint based methodology for case combination that allows its application across a wide range of problems. We have shown that our approach provides an efficient adaptation methodology that ensures convergence upon a solution if one exists, provides a uniform representation of cases, and is generalizable beyond just one domain. Our technique is implemented in a case based reasoning system called COMPOSER, which ha s been tested in two design domains: assembly sequence design and configuration design.

The CBR (case based reasoning) is a problem solving technique following different strategy compared to the major approaches of the artificial intelligence. It develops remedies to certain problem based on the pre-existing solutions of similar nature. So the problem using the CBR is handled by retrieving and reusing the similar previously solved problems and available solutions respectively. This makes the process functioning alike based on the human activities is instinctively attractive and more beneficial compared to the Conventional_AI as begins to reason out the possible solutions form the shallow base. The CBR due to the exceeding performance are popular among a wide range of applications such as the weather fore casting, medical and engineering diagnosis, aerospace etc. Identification or sorting out or classification take a significant role in cases that is the training examples retrieval as the perfect identification results in perfect case retrieval, this further enables the case based reasoning to arrive to at a perfect remedy for the problem. The retrieval of cases are mostly based on the similarity and utilizes the KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor). The proposed method in the paper integrates the multilayer perceptron with the fuzzy nearest neighbor (MLP-NFF) system with the help of WEKA to deliver a perfect classification to make the CBR-retrieval efficient. The evaluation of the proposed method and its comparison with the KNN is done using the standard data set obtained from the medical field.
