KNOWLEDGE  MANAGEMENT PARADIGM

The best and the very well known model of the knowledge Management [KM],  the human  brain. The five senses touch, taste, vision, hearing, and smell, collect the data.The brain computes the data, convert it into information and stores it in the memory. One part in the left half of the brain interprets the data while the right half applies logic and starts a thought process. Somewhere else in the brain inquisitiveness pops up its head and investigation starts. The intuitions comes to the aid from somewhere. Feedback is collected from the environment. Finally, a concoction of information,intelligence, intuitions, investigation, and inquisitive is formed and knowledge is formed.

 Intelligent and gainful management and utilization of knowledge brings in wisdom, which results into prosperity, well being and creativity to the individual as well as to the society.

 The technological revolution that is continuously taking place in the world over and the feasibility of collecting enormous amount of data, getting it processed into information, storing the information and converting it into knowledge by of the computer technology has made it possible to have repository of fathomless and limitless expanse of ocean of information and knowledge. The management knowledge using tools,techniquesof processes has became a lifeline for the citizens not only for keeping themselves afloat on the ocean [of knowledge] but also for navigating them to their cherished dene stination.

Knowledge by itself is an abstract perception. It takes different forms and  the content depending upon the context of the situation one is dealing with. There is explicit knowledge in the head of an individual about the phenomena, events and the physical entities one experiences or comes across. In the context of an organization, its 'knowledge' is its 'know-how', its proficiency,its capability to take important strategic decisions and above all, its human intellectual property Rights,patents,trademarks,business plans, intutive predictions about future etc. People create synergy by partipating in brainstorming sessions and information exchange processes and apply tacit knowledge to find solutions to the encountered problems as well as to develop new techniques, know-how, processes and product.

knowledge management basically comprises of the following:

1]Knowledge creation: generation data,process into information,learn,research and collate the distributed knowledge.

2]Capture knowledge from memories,personal notes,etc..

3]Store the knowledge in knowledge repositories like web servers,data bases etc..

4]Share the knowledge with people through knowledge fusion into the society.

5]Manage the knowledge through the smart minds of motivated,committed and knowledgeable indivisuals.

Dr A.P.J.Abdul Kalam has given a new dimension to the the Knowledge paradigm and suggested that the world knowledge platform should be created.

This is all about knowledge management which is very much essential for students at graduate level.
