This is a new and exciting area for MBA study. Although the importance of knowledge to organizations has been recognized for many years, knowledge management represents a refocusing of managerial thought and practice. Managing knowledge takes a broad view of the subject, covering communications, sense-making, information management, measurement of intellectual capital, intellectual property, intangible assets, learning, knowledge creation and innovation, human resources for innovation, and building knowledge management capability. Knowledge is explored in group, organizational and inter-organizational contexts. The course both uses and critically explores the technologies and media that support knowledge processes, including groupware, interactive CD-ROMs and the Internet.
