KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Knowledge Management and Information Strategy

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Knowledge Management (KM) has been a discipline that has earned recent popularity, in the light of bringing synergetic outcomes and creating a liaison between multiple areas of knowledge and expertise. Amongst the most common that have been undertaken and covered in the paradigm of knowledge management primarily include business administration, information technology and management, providing blueprints and layout for the conduct of a concrete professional work base. Very recently, considering ample research and detailed investigation has been employed into knowledge management, which include policies and information related to public health, computer science and media, providing data and records that enable us to make way for the creation of disseminating knowledge and expanding horizons in terms of specialization. The irony here is that even though the discipline itself offers a variety of benefits and could be put to use for current and future endeavours to project success in a given area, knowledge management (KM) has failed to provide for fulfilling the requirements of any organization at a certain timeframe. Through this paper and the necessary results and outcomes, the researcher anticipates a detailed scrutiny into hindrances and casualties associated with knowledge management (KM) and also provide for solutions and alternatives through which people become associated with the paradigm of knowledge management (KM).

As time passes by, we witness and experience that the boundaries and the demarcations that were once so religiously followed are now being sidelined, paving way for an entirely new paradigm of information collection and data gathering.

Evaluation of Reserach

Considering the paradigm, knowledge and education are areas that cannot be missed, irrespective and regardless of how flawless the systems or how the people work in a particular environment (Csikszentmihalyi, 2004, pp.41).
