Abstract

In the present day market scenario of intense competition, organizations need to know what they know and be able to leverage on it's knowledge base to gain competitive advantage. In this knowledge era, organisations can create and sustain competitive advantage through initiation of appropriate knowledge management processes. The organisations that can leverage technology to exploit the data will realize the benefits by creating a competitive advantage for itselfes. The competitive advantage could be in the form of identifying trends, unusual patterns, and hidden relationships. The recent emphasis on knowledge management arises out of the need for organizations to manage resources more effectively in a hyper-competitive, global economy.

Abstract

Going digital is the way to minimize handling of damaged materials, but the imaging process is demanding and must be done with oversight by preservation staff and with a high enough level of quality to ensure the reusability of the archival electronic file for as long as possible. This paper focuses on the scope and needs of digital preservation, and various types of available preservation methods. The remainder of this paper explores some of the approaches and technological issues facing our profession.

Abstract

The sustained phase of transition to economies characterised by considerable, and sometimes revolutionary, advances in science, technology and related industries, coupled with subsequent profound changes in economy and society, has increased the importance of the knowledge-intensive phases of production for value-creation. As enterprises, in fact, become more reliant on technology, they will become more dependent on knowledge. Accordingly, policy makers in a growing number of countries have become increasingly concerned with the management of the entire knowledge chain: from creation to the diffusion, conversion and entrepreneurial exploitation of scientific and technological knowledge. The knowledge chain also has profound implications for higher education institutions and business schools, which to be successful, need to help companies create knowledge and become part of knowledge streams.

Abstract

This paper uses a systems-based approach to identify problems associated with organizational learning in various subsystems in an organization. The functionalist model of the systems-based approach is first used to identify the relevant sub systems involved in organizational learning. This is followed by a consideration of key functional sub systems deemed important in the context of Organizational Learning. These sub-systems include the goal, managerial as well as human subsystems. Problems that are manifested in the context of each subsystem are identified. These problems are then assessed in the context of the overall organizational setting. On analysis the problems associated with each subsystem suggests that a traditional, linear model of problem identification that is normally used to identify problems is inappropriate. Organizational learning requires a system based approach to accurately identify organizational learning related problems. The paper concludes that for an accurate and definitive identification of the root causes of problems associated with organizational learning to be identified, a consideration of the interdependencies and inter relatedness of the various sub systems has to be carried out. For this to be done a systems approach is required.
