10.5 © 2004 by Prentice Hall Management Information Systems 8/e Chapter 10 Managing Knowledge for the Digital Firm Important Dimensions of Knowledge Distinction between data, info, knowledge and wisdom –Data –Data: flow of events or transactions captured by organizations –Information –Information: to turn data into useful info, a firm must expend resources to organize data into categories of understanding, such as monthly, daily, or regional reports –Knowledge –Knowledge: to transform info into knowledge, a firm must expend additional resources to discover patterns, rules, and contexts where the knowledge works –Wisdom –Wisdom: is thought to be the collective and individual experience of applying knowledge to the solution of problems. Wisdom involves where, when and how to apply knowledge

10.6 © 2004 by Prentice Hall Management Information Systems 8/e Chapter 10 Managing Knowledge for the Digital Firm How do firms obtain knowledge ? They create and gather knowledge using a variety of organizational learning mechanism Organizational learning Through trial and error, careful measurement of planned activities, feedback from customers and the environments. in general, organizations create new standard operating procedures and business processes that reflects their experience. Knowledge management Set of business processes developed in the organization Creates, gathers, stores, maintains, and disseminates knowledgeCreates, gathers, stores, maintains, and disseminates knowledge Knowledge management increases the ability of the org to learn from its environment and to incorporate knowledge into its business processesKnowledge management increases the ability of the org to learn from its environment and to incorporate knowledge into its business processes KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN THE ORGANIZATION Organizational Learning and Knowledge Management

Management theorists believe that these know. assests are as important for competitive advantage, than physical assetsOrganizational knowledge regarding how to efficiently and effectively perform business processes and create new products and services that enables the business to create value. Management theorists believe that these know. assests are as important for competitive advantage, than physical assets Chief Knowledge Officer (CKO) Senior executive in charge of organization’s knowledge management program. They help design programs and systems to find new sources of knowledge or to make better use of existing knowledge in organizational and management processes KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN THE ORGANIZATION Organizational Learning and Knowledge Management

10.8 © 2004 by Prentice Hall Management Information Systems 8/e Chapter 10 Managing Knowledge for the Digital Firm Communities of practice (COPs)Communities of practice (COPs) –are informal social networks of professionals and employees within and outside the firm who have similar work-related activities and interests TaxonomyTaxonomy –A scheme for classifying info and knowledge in such a way that it can be easily accessed (like a table of contents in a book) Organizational knowledge can be captured and stored using case-based Reasoning. Ex: engagement-based (case-based) Ex: Accounting and consulting firms have developed structured document and engagement-based (case-based) repositories of reports from consultants who are working with particular clients. The reports typically are created after the consulting engagement is completed and include detailed descriptions of the consulting objective Organizational Learning and Knowledge Management KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN THE ORGANIZATION
