Question
Hi there,

I have a question and I'm not too sure if it's related to database but i'm just wondering what is knowledge and what is knowledge management and why are these important to today’s knowledge economy and to IT professionals.  

Do you know of an example of where an organization has achieved value from a Knowledge management initiative

I would just like to get an opinion from you to learn more about knowledge.

Thanks again =)


Answer
Knowledge mgmt is a fairly new term used to describe the total administration of what a company knows about it business. This knowledge includes data about employees, sales, production, etc. Knowledge workers are those who manage this info as opposed to manufacturing workers.

Hope this helps
