Lecture 3 KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT (KM) MODELS

Central to knowledge management is the interaction between tacit and explicit knowledge, as highlighted in Nonaka and Takeuchi's Knowledge Spiral Model, which emphasizes the importance of converting and developing different knowledge forms.

Lecture 3 KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT (KM) MODELS

Lecture 3: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT (KM) MODELS

The Intelligent Complex Adaptive System (ICAS) KM Model by Bennet and Bennet (2004)

4 major ways of describing
Implementation
Problem solving
Creativity
Key processes
Taking actions to achieve desired results
Making decisions
Solving problems
Creating new ideas
Understanding

Nonaka and Takeuchi’s Knowledge Spiral Model (1995)

Limitations
Does NOT address larger issues of how decision making takes place
reflect practices to ensure all forms of conversion are being adequately supported and developed.

Subtopic

Tacit and explicit knowledge interact
Spiral Model
Combination (explicit-to-explicit)

Concepts

Sorted and systematized

Internalization (explicit-to-tacit)

Strongly linked to “learning by doing”

Externalization (tacit-to-explicit)

Advantages

Easily shared and leveraged

Tangible and permanent

Socialization (tacit-to-tacit)

Time consuming

Rarely captured

Knowledge remains tacit

von Krogh and Roos’ Model of Organizational Epistemology (1995)

Key Factor
management of human resources
relationship between the members
organizational structure
communication in the organization
Mind set of the individual

Boisot’s I-space KM Model (1998)

Drawbacks
Less known
Strength
Maps the organisational knowledge assets to social learning cycle
Links the content, information and KM in an effective way
Dynamic flow
6. Impacting
5. Absorption
4. Diffusion
3. Abstraction
2. Codification
1. Scanning
3Ds
Diffused - Undiffused
Abstract - Concrete
Codified - Uncodified
Key point
shared context
easily data can be structured and converted into information

Main topic

Wiig’s Model for Building and Using Knowledge (1993)

Drawback
lack of research and/or practical experience
adopt a more detailed or refined approach to managing knowledge
easily be integrated
Most pragmatic/practical model
Internalization

Choo’s Sense-Making KM Model (1998)

Strengths
Particularly well suited to simulations and hypothesis or scenario-testing applications.
Represents organizational actions
Holistic treatment of key KM Cycle processes
From an organisation's knowledge vision perspective
