Knowledge Management Landscape (in US) Knowledge management systems among fastest growing areas of software investment Information economy 55% U.S. labor force: knowledge and information workers 60% U.S. GDP from knowledge and information sectors Substantial part of a firm’s stock market value is related to intangible assets: knowledge, brands, reputations, and unique business processes Well-executed knowledge-based projects can produce extraordinary ROI

Knowledge in a Firm Important dimensions of knowledge Knowledge is a firm asset Intangible Creation of knowledge from data, information, requires organizational resources As it is shared, experiences network effects Knowledge has different forms May be explicit (documented) or tacit (residing in minds) Know-how, craft, skill How to follow procedure Knowing why things happen (causality)

Important dimensions of knowledge (cont.) Knowledge has a location Cognitive event Both social and individual “Sticky” (hard to move), situated (enmeshed in firm’s culture), contextual (works only in certain situations) Knowledge is situational Conditional: Knowing when to apply procedure Contextual: Knowing circumstances to use certain tool

To transform information into knowledge, firm must expend additional resources to discover patterns, rules, and contexts where knowledge works Wisdom: Collective and individual experience of applying knowledge to solve problems Involves where, when, and how to apply knowledge Human capital (skilled labor force) Knowing how to do things effectively and efficiently in ways others cannot duplicate is prime source of profit and competitive advantage E.g., Having a unique build-to-order production system

Organizational Learning Knowledge is the driver of new behavior Communities of Practice Informal social networks of professionals and employees within and outside firm who have similar work-related activities and interests Activities include education, online newsletters, sharing experiences and techniques Facilitate reuse of knowledge, discussion Reduce learning curves of new employees Process in which organizations learn Gain experience through collection of data, measurement, trial and error, and feedback Adjust behavior to reflect experience Create new business processes Change patterns of management decision making

Knowledge Management Knowledge management: Set of business processes developed in an organization to create, store, transfer, and apply knowledge Knowledge management value chain: Each stage adds value to raw data and information as they are transformed into usable knowledge Knowledge acquisition Knowledge storage Knowledge dissemination Knowledge application

Knowledge Management Value Chain Knowledge acquisition Documenting tacit and explicit knowledge Storing documents, reports, presentations, best practices Unstructured documents (e.g., e-mails) Developing online expert networks Creating knowledge Tracking data from TPS and external sources Knowledge storage Databases Document management systems Role of management: Support development of planned knowledge storage systems Encourage development of corporate-wide schemas for indexing documents Reward employees for taking time to update and store documents properly

Knowledge Management Value Chain Knowledge dissemination Portals Push e-mail reports Search engines Collaboration tools A deluge of information? Training programs, informal networks, and shared management experience help managers focus attention on important information Knowledge application To provide return on investment, organizational knowledge must become systematic part of management decision making and become situated in decision- support systems New business practices New products and services New markets

MAJOR TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Types of Knowledge in Enterprise Structured documents Reports, presentations Formal rules Semistructured documents E-mails, videos Unstructured, tacit knowledge 80% of an organization’s business content is semistructured or unstructured

Enterprise Content Management Systems Help capture, store, retrieve, distribute, preserve Documents, reports, best practices Semistructured knowledge (e-mails) Bring in external sources News feeds, research Tools for communication and collaboration Key problem – Developing taxonomy Knowledge objects must be tagged with categories for retrieval

Web and Collaboration Technologies Digital Asset Management Systems Specialized content management systems for classifying, storing, managing unstructured digital data; photographs, graphics, video, audio Enterprise knowledge portals: Access to external and internal information News feeds, research Capabilities for e-mail, chat, videoconferencing, discussion Use of consumer Web technologies Blogs Wikis Social bookmarking

Requirements of Knowledge Work Systems Substantial computing power for graphics, complex calculations Powerful graphics and analytical tools Communications and document management Access to external databases User-friendly interfaces Optimized for tasks to be performed (design engineering, financial analysis)

Examples of Knowledge Work Systems CAD (computer-aided design): Creation of engineering or architectural designs Virtual reality systems: Simulate real-life environments 3-D medical modeling for surgeons Augmented reality (AR) systems VRML Investment workstations: Streamline investment process and consolidate internal, external data for brokers, traders, portfolio managers

Intelligent Techniques Used to capture individual and collective knowledge and to extend knowledge base To capture tacit knowledge: Expert systems, case-based reasoning, fuzzy logic Knowledge discovery: Neural networks and data mining Generating solutions to complex problems: Genetic algorithms Automating tasks: Intelligent agents Artificial intelligence (AI) technology: Computer-based systems that emulate human behavior

How Expert Systems Work Knowledge base: Set of hundreds or thousands of rules Inference engine: Strategy used to search knowledge base Forward chaining: Inference engine begins with information entered by user and searches knowledge base to arrive at conclusion Backward chaining: Begins with hypothesis and asks user questions until hypothesis is confirmed or disproved

HOW CASE-BASED REASONING WORKS Descriptions of past experiences of human specialists (cases), stored in knowledge base System searches for cases with problem characteristics similar to new one, finds closest fit, and applies solutions of old case to new case Successful and unsuccessful applications are grouped with case Stores organizational intelligence: Knowledge base is continuously expanded and refined by users CBR found in Medical diagnostic systems Customer support
