Lecture 1 : 

Overview of Knowledge Management (KM)

By the end of the day I was supposed to:-

¢  Describe the differences between the terms data, information and knowledge

¢  Assess the differences in the management of knowledge from ancient to modern times

¢  Explain the diversity of disciplines and content that constitute the field of knowledge management

¢  Distinguish between different perspectives in the knowledge management literature

Not sure is the goal set above is achieved or not but, sure had fun during the activities in class

•          Drawing flowers
•          Solving riddles (the answer was refrigerator but when reading the first two lines of the clue we weirdly thought the answer was a coffin)
•          Creating a map (never knew that drawing up a map could be that hard)

  My understanding of the lecture (the summarized version ):-

1.     Data is raw facts 
2.     Information is organized data
3.     Knowledge is directed information which is also considered as an organizational asset.
4.     Knowledge is separated into :-

•       tacit 
•       (which is later separated into technical and cognitive ). It is based on experience and cant be expressed through formulas and calculations
• 
  
•       explicit 
•      Manual
•      Problem-solving Methods
•      Database
•      Theoretical approach
