The question I would like you to answer is: a) (a) the ‘codification’ + the ‘personalisation’ knowledge management (KM) orientations of Hansen et al (1999) Order Description Select one of the followin" rel="nofollow">ing, EITHER (a) the ‘codification’ + the ‘personalisation’ knowledge management (KM) orientations of Hansen et al (1999) OR (b) one of the two ‘social’ + one of the two ‘technostructural’ KM orientations of Alvesson and Karremen (2001) 1. Compare and contrast the key characteristics of your two selected KM orientations, in" rel="nofollow">in particular, in" rel="nofollow">in relation to their view of the nature and treatment of knowledge. [20%] 2. Compare and contrast the implications for an organisation of adoptin" rel="nofollow">ing each of your two selected KM orientations for its: a. HRM practices (e.g. in" rel="nofollow">in relation to reward) [25%] b. use of IT [25%] c. developin" rel="nofollow">ing and mobilisin" rel="nofollow">ing strategic assets [30%] Employ examples where appropriate to support your discussion." Advice: 1. First select either (a) or (b). Then use your two selected KM orientations to address questions 1. and 2., where you will fin" rel="nofollow">ind that your two selected orientations will view knowledge differently (one more in" rel="nofollow">in relation to the 'objectivist' view of knowledge and one more in" rel="nofollow">in relation to the 'practice-based' view of knowledge), and as a result each of your two selected orientations will have different implications for HRM policies, the type of IT that might be useful, and the way in" rel="nofollow">in which different in" rel="nofollow">intangible assets may be viewed. 2. Use appropriate concepts, theories, or frameworks from the module to support and/or frame your discussion. 3. Use appropriate examples to illustrate (preferably your own), and where useful, results from relevant empirical studies (these can be found in" rel="nofollow">in academic KM journal articles, a number of which are referred to in" rel="nofollow">in Hislop, for example).
