Date: October 21, 2009
Room: 403 Goodes Hall
SEMINAR ONE: WEDNESDAY, 12 NOON - 1PM
A MODEL OF THE TACIT KNOWLEDGE LIFECYCLE FOR DECISION-MAKING: FROM CREATION TO UTILIZATION
Abstract:
An important issue for firms is to make strategic decisions on the basis of organizational resources. Many of the criticisms directed towards traditional methods of capturing performance, productivity, and profitability are due to inadequate ways of identifying, measuring and valuing knowledge assets. This paper presents a comprehensive “knowledge process model” incorporating the resource-based literature from economics and knowledge-based literature from organization theory that provides a possible course of action for individuals/organizations to understand and explain knowledge flows' contributions to an organization.
SEMINAR TWO: WEDNESDAY, 1.30 - 2.30PM
MODELING THE VALUE OF KNOWLEDGE WITH A THROUGHPUT MODEL
Abstract:
Companies are becoming difficult to value reliably and accurately due to the economy becoming increasingly intangible. Many of the criticisms of traditional methods result from the inability to value knowledge assets (KA). Innovation and technology are influencing the complexity of production processes and products. Stock market valuations are frequently several times higher than book values. This gap is viewed as evidence that the effects of innovation and technology on KA are very important to corporate wealth. This paper incorporates the resource-based literature from economics and knowledge-based literature from organization theory, creating a comprehensive “knowledge process model” that constructs a possible course of action for information system designers and users of innovation and technology.
