Concepts And Advances In Information Knowledge Management

Effective information and knowledge resource management is a driver of competiveness. Many developing countries have put mechanisms in place that seek to match knowledge-based economies, where information has become the fuel for responsiveness, innovation, and competition. Concepts and Advances in Information Knowledge Management brings out emerging and current discussion from the sub-fields of information management in this environment. This title consists of sections on key aspects of information knowledge management and addresses knowledge management, library studies, archives and records management, and information systems. Presents research aimed at harmonizing theory and practice of general information management paradigms Gives insight into the place of archives, records management, and information technology impacting socio-economic value chains Disseminates theoretical and applied models, and information management system architecture emerging from cloud computing and retrieval systems

This book serves as a complete introduction to the subject of Knowledge Management (KM), and incorporates technical as well as social aspects, concepts as well as practical examples, and traditional KM approaches as well as emerging topics. Knowledge Management: Systems and Processes enhances the conventional exposition of KM with an in-depth discussion of the technologies used to facilitate the management of knowledge in large and small organizations. This includes a complete description of the theory and applications of the various techniques and technologies currently in use to manage organizational knowledge. The discussion of technology is at a level appropriate for the typical business administration graduate student or corporate manager. Special features:* Includes case studies of actual implementations of KM systems, including details such as system architecture * Contains numerous vignettes describing practical applications of KM initiatives at leading firms and governmental organizations * Provides a balanced view of knowledge management, while incorporating benefits and controversial issues, and both technology and social aspects * Extremely current, making extensive use of latest developments in, and examples from, the field of KM * Written by two proficient and recognized researchers in the field of KM.

"This book captures an in-depth knowledge base on the most current and useful concepts, applications, and processes relevant to the successful management of knowledge assets"--Provided by publisher.

Although there are numerous publications in the field of knowledge management (KM), there are still gaps in the literature regarding the aspects of KM that reflect new technology adoption and a deeper analysis discussing the interlinked process between KM and data analytics in business process improvement. It is essential for business leaders to understand the role and responsibilities of leaders for the adoption and consolidation of a KM system that is effective and profitable. Understanding, Implementing, and Evaluating Knowledge Management in Business Settings provides a comprehensive approach to KM concepts and practices in corporations and business organizations. Covering topics such as information overload, knowledge sharing adoption, and collective wisdom, this premier reference source is a comprehensive and essential resource for business executives, managers, IT specialists and consultants, libraries, students, entrepreneurs, researchers, and academicians.

This book presents a unique blend of articles which combines both conceptual and practical concerns related to devising and implementing sustainable Knowledge Management systems and solutions in contemporary global organizations. The book's contributors are among the leading thinkers and practitioners in this growing field. The seamless synthesis of the human, organizational, and technological dimensions of Knowledge Management makes this book a definitive guide for academics and practising managers alike.

Knowledge management has always been about the process of creating, sharing, using, and applying knowledge within and between organizations. Before the advent of information systems, knowledge management processes were manual or offline. However, the emergence and eventual evolution of information systems created the possibility for the gradual but slow automation of knowledge management processes. These digital technologies enable data capture, data storage, data mining, data analytics, and data visualization. The value provided by such technologies is enhanced and distributed to organizations as well as customers using the digital technologies that enable interconnectivity. Today, the fine line between the technologies enabling the technology-driven external pressures and data-driven internal organizational pressures is blurred. Therefore, how technologies are combined to facilitate knowledge management processes is becoming less standardized. This results in the question of how the current advancement in digital technologies affects knowledge management processes both within and outside organizations. Digital Technology Advancements in Knowledge Management addresses how various new and emerging digital technologies can support knowledge management processes within organizations or outside organizations. Case studies and practical tips based on research on the emerging possibilities for knowledge management using these technologies is discussed within the chapters of this book. It both builds on the available literature in the field of knowledge management while providing for further research opportunities in this dynamic field. This book highlights topics such as human-robot interaction, big data analytics, software development, keyword extraction, and artificial intelligence and is ideal for technology developers, academics, researchers, managers, practitioners, stakeholders, and students who are interested in the adoption and implementation of new digital technologies for knowledge creation, sharing, aggregation, and storage.
