Week 2

Knowledge Management
Knowledge Praxis “defines knowledge management as a business activity with two primary aspects:
Treating the knowledge component of business activities as an explicit concern of business reflected in strategy, policy, and practice at all levels of the organization.
Making a direct connection between an organization’s intellectual assets — both explicit [recorded] and tacit [personal know-how] — and positive business results”.

An imperative point made by ‘Knowledge Praxis’ as noted above, the knowledge element of any business needs to be evidently shown in the strategy and policies of the organization.
