Knowledge Management

Assembled by Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD

This method (or movement) focuses on collection and management of critical
knowledge in an organization to increase its capacity for achieving results.
Knowledge management often includes extensive use of computer technology. In
and of itself, this is not an overall comprehensive process assured to improve
performance. Its effectiveness toward reaching overall results for the organization
depends on how well the enhanced, critical knowledge is applied in the organization.
At this time, knowledge management is receiving spotted attention among smaller
organizations.
