Knowledge management is very all-encompassing in terms of the subject
matter it deals with, but as far as the core discourse about what it means, it
is quite simple. Knowledge and management are diametrically opposed forces.
Knowledge i s action (yang), while management is control (yin). As we know,
these opposing forces are in fact interdependent, so knowledge management as a
whole represents the overall business realm, or the realm within which business
operates.
T his means that everything that takes place in business, every
transaction, every new idea or strategy, is comprised of the knowledge and
management forces. From the largest big-picture synopsis, right down to the
smallest detail. So how a busin ess understands these 'ratios of force' is
directly tied to its success in the marketplace.
A paper descibing these concepts in detail is available from envision
consulting. For more information contact envision@krdata.com.
