Use Of Knowledge

Knowledge management is one of the fastest emerging fields in industry today. Unfortunately, however, most of the knowledge management endeavors do not seem to have rigorous and comprehensive knowledge management methodologies, tools, and techniques. One technique that can greatly aid the knowledge management field can be borrowed from the concept mapping community, namely the use of knowledge maps. This chapter will discuss the role of knowledge mapping for improving knowledge management projects, and the specific use of a tool called WisdomBuilder to aid in the creation of the knowledge maps.

Reference Knowledge

This chapter looks at graphic strategies to reference knowledge and to make it more accessible through interactive knowledge maps. It discusses pragmatic ways of classifying knowledge maps to give an overview of their application contexts and formats. In the chapter, we show where and how the term knowledge map has been previously used and which criteria must be met in a sound and useful knowledge map classification that can support knowledge management processes and strategies. Various classification principles are presented and discussed. A table then matches map formats to knowledge management purposes and knowledge-related contents in order to serve as a selection and organizing framework. Examples of some of the main types of knowledge maps are presented to illustrate the varieties of knowledge mapping present in the classification. The article concludes by discussing its limitations and future research questions in the area of knowledge mapping.

Use Of Knowledge

Knowledge management is a multidisciplinary approach to achieve organizational objectives by making best use of knowledge and information resources. Analytics is the process of systematic analysis of the past data/statistics and trying to predict the future trends or data with various tools and techniques. With the advancement of technology and increasing competition, companies are prone to make better use of the information and analytics to sustain their position in the marketplace. Software as a Service (SaaS) has become an important trend in organizations in addition to that of the usual Excel and Google sheets analytics. In this study, comparative analysis has been done between SPSS & Google Sheets Techniques and also Google data studio with Tableau, Power BI & Google Sheets for data visualization processes. Efficient dashboard was created using the different data visualization tools and compared with their pros and cons. A survey was conducted in the form of Questionnaire and the responses are obtained from people ranging from Interns to Managerial level and the factors that influence the Knowledge management processes in an efficient manner are obtained. Google apps script coding and basic excel techniques like VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, Conditional formatting, Data Validation are being implemented as a part of automating the repetitive tasks.

Integration Concept

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are a vital and growing part of any national economy. Like most large businesses, SMEs have recognized the importance of knowledge management. This Chapter investigates the use of knowledge processes and knowledge methods for SMEs. The learning objectives of this Chapter are to assess the role of knowledge management and knowledge processes in SMEs. Furthermore, the reader should be able to describe major knowledge management programs in SMEs and assess how they provide value for organizations. Empirical studies conducted by the authors show that for SMEs, only four knowledge processes are important: (1) knowledge identification, (2) knowledge acquisition, (3) knowledge distribution and (4) knowledge preservation. Based on the research result of several empirical studies, an integration concept for knowledge processes, knowledge methods, and knowledge software tools for SMEs is introduced and discussed.

New Framework

PurposeThe use of knowledge in organizations is largely a discretionary behavior that can be encouraged but not demanded. As such, the firm can only attempt to provide the right conditions for employees to endorse the role of knowledge workers. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the organization of the firm affects knowledge management.Design/methodology/approachThis research proposes a new framework showing the prescriptive role of organizational characteristics onto knowledge management (KM) initiatives. Based on this framework, data were generated from nine semi‐structured interviews conducted in the American, British and Japanese offices of a major Japanese pharmaceutical company, using a Boolean approach and qualitative content analysis.FindingsOrganizational characteristics, specifically – structure, membership, relationship, and strategy affect KM, namely – knowledge acquisition, storage, diffusion, and application respectively.Research limitations/implicationsEven though the departments of each local office under study were matched in terms of activity, the size of their own domestic market made comparisons sometimes challenging.Practical implicationsThis research suggests that practitioners can increase the yield of KM when integrated upstream into the elementary business processes rather than when left voluntary.Originality/valueThis paper uncovers a possible link between the firm's organizational characteristics and KM, and the new practical framework can be useful to both scholars and practitioners.

Knowledge is considered one of the effective assets which control the success of organizations, and its effective management is crucial. Although knowledge has existed and has been used along all projects, the way it was managed was almost intuitive and highly reliable on in-house systems. As a consequence, knowledge management was introduced in the late 1990s to help companies create, share, and systematically use knowledge. Knowledge management can be defined as the identification, optimization, and active management of intellectual assets that create value, increase productivity, and gain and sustain competitive advantage. Construction field, as one of the most complicated fields, is considered a project- based field where numbers of investments in it are in millions every year. Although knowledge in construction is among the main factors for project success, most of this knowledge lies in the minds of the people, which makes it hard to be captured and stored. Accordingly, effective knowledge management in construction is affected by different factors, including the willingness of people to share their knowledge and the mobilization of the workforce from one project to another without sharing lessons learned and previous knowledge. Here comes the role of application of KM, which could help prevent “reinventing the wheel” in construction. This paper aims at offering a comprehensive overview of the application of KM in construction through reviewing extant literature sources. Topics discussed included factors affecting KM, KM tools and techniques, the processes of KM, and the main benefits and challenges facing KM. There are many factors affecting knowledge management and many tools and techniques to manage knowledge. As for the findings of this paper, they took the form of an analysis of the main benefits and challenges facing the application of KM in construction.

Use Of Knowledge

Knowledge has been recognized as the most difficult resource traded and imitated. The creation and use of knowledge needs to be managed at the level of individuals, groups, and companies. For the Bank itself, knowledge management is not organizing knowledge of their human resources as assets, but also as a key competitive advantage amid the global banking market. This paper discusses how knowledge management will be very beneficial for the BTPN Sharia to maintain a competitive advantage. Pengetahuan sudah diakui sebagai sumber daya yang paling sulit diperdagangkan dan ditiru. Penciptaan dan penggunaan pengetahuan perlu dikelola dengan baik pada level individu, kelompok, maupun perusahaan. Bagi BTPN Syariah sendiri, manajemen pengetahuan bukan hanya sekedar mengatur pengetahuan sumber daya manusianya sebagai asset, tetapi juga sebagai kunci keunggulan kompetitif ditengah pasar global dunia perbankan. Paper ini membahas bagaimana manajemen pengetahuan akan sangat bermanfaat bagi BTPN Syariah untuk menjaga keunggulan kompetitif.
