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).
