| └► Jeswan Singhps (India) | The Essence of Knowledge Management | "The essence of KM is the synthesis of information and critical data. What's crucial is then enhancing the process further by using this enriched combination in a way that adds value to man's efforts to improve the quality of life." | |
| └► Rose Ann (USA) | Knowledge Management and Achieving Excellence | "We comprise as a "societal endeavor" any society that seats a public mission at the axis of its creation. In other words, the association has as its major principle the progress of a set of social goals and conception of social assessment." | |
| └► Anthony Belon (Malaysia) | Strategic Management - a Key Component | "Application of knowledge, skills, information... Etc... In any management approach ought to be strategic. It means that "strategic management" is one of key components in the overall (top 10) management approaches." |
| └► Kenny (Malaysia) | Knowledge may not be the highest form.. | "It is WISDOM...because it cannot be taught. What's the use of knowledge when you don't know how to use it..Wisdom is cultivated partly by the "inner talk".. as prescribed by the 8th habit in Covey's book." | |
| └► Jagdish B Acharya (India) | DEPLOYMENT of Wisdom is Important | "We must keep in mind difference between approach and deployment. Approach is the way in which the right decision is arrived at. The right approach with inputs as described in the DICKS model increases chances of correctness of understanding. Wisdom helps in differentiating between short term correct and long term correct solutions. However the most important influence on any business process depends on deployment of what is arrived at with a good approach. With experience, wisdom and analysis of risk of wrong decisions one can take quick and right decisions and deploy them. Only when this whole loop is completed, can one see the result of all education and other enablers." |
|
| └► Anthony Belon (Malaysia) | Putting wisdom before Knowledge | "Both Kenny and Jagdish B Acharya put wisdom before knowlegde appropriately. For knowledge to be positively effective, it must be driven by wisdom - such as applying the right knowledge at the right time at the right place or situation." | |
| └► Shahzad Ali Khan (Pakistan) | Management | "As very rightly pointed out by Einstein, I still believe that although knowledge is important and wisdom is proving your knowledge by you actions and applying the knowledge in you acts; Imagination is more important than knowledge; Its simply because knowledge may have limits, but imagination is unlimited. So its more useful and as you see most interventions came through someone's imagination." | |
| └► Audrey Veldman (Netherlands) | Explicit and Tacit Knowledge | "Wisdom aside, what I miss in this discussion is the difference between explicit knowledge (knowledge that can be transferred) and tacit knowledge (knowledge that resides within people). This difference is important when considering the management of knowledge." |
| └► Nguyen Hai Hang (Czech republic) | Knowledge management | "I totally agree with Khalil Ahmed. Do you have any suggestion about how to manage knowledge effectively at the organizational level?" |
| └► Bill (USA) | B education gives some recollection | "I asked a similar question when I was going for my MBA and posed it to a group of young CEOs. Although they were successful in their businesses they agreed that by going for the degree would provide a background in the area of finance. You may not remember everything given the immensity of what needs to be learned but at least you have some recollection of the topic later on that allows you to go back and explore it further as needed." | |
| └► AntoinetteSW (UK) | Business education is essential | "Business education is essential; most people in middle and senior roles within business will at some time have undertaken formal traning and education whether an initial business degree or course, which in time may be followed on with an MBA or other education oportunities. From my point of view what I have learned through formal courses, attending selected seminars, reading well informed material refreshes the thinking, takes you back to "Basics" every now again (which in my opinion you need to do every now and again) - and no I don't remember everything I have been taught, but I remember sufficient elements that enable me to pick out relelvant referencne information or reseach as and when I need it. It has provided me with sufficient knowledge to identify clearly what I don't know (and if we are truthful we all have plenty of those categories when you look and the breadth and depth of complexities of the modern business world) and obtain the relevant inout and support for those topics when appropriate." |
|
| └► Brendan Dunphy (France) | Disappointed MBA's... | "I think one downside of the mountain of books and education is that practitioners lose sight of the fundamentals of business and their immediate challenges, attention diverted by the latest fad, particularly in larger organisations. I have lost count of the number of disappointed MBA's returning to previous or new employers only to find their new-found and hard-earned knowledge not required, or desired. There is a gulf between business academia and business practice not seen in other disciplines but bridged by commercial and professional bodies; is this the way it will always be?" |
|
| └► Hemant Vora (USA) | Better Understanding Surroundings | "Usefulness of Business education in daily professional life may be limited, however, its impact on one's perception of his or her surrounding and events changes and adds better understanding. That in turn brings more confidence and refined approach to day to day work." | |
| └► Natalia (Russia) | Is business education useful? | "I am convinced: employees with MSc, MBA or any other relevant business education can make a business decision faster, but additional experience is also essential. Today the business is changing very often and the ability to make fast and correct decision can be trained by business education plus, of course, experience. Usefulness (example): Now I am in controlling+IT, but my first degree was in pedagogics (I thought it was my mistake as I never used this knowledge till now). But now I apply pedagogics for users trainings:)) Conclusion: I have working experience of 14 years and I understood that continious business education is really important." | |
| └► Bena Dookie-Shah (Trinidad and Tobago) | Business Education | "Continuous business education is important. The amount that is remembered and applied is dependent on the individual just like any knowledge gained or skill learned. Education and knowledge may not be all 'remembered' but it really never goes away even if an individual's career path may be different than his/her formal training. Experience can strengthen or increase knowledge as well as help any individual make better informed decisions. Generally however, how it is used is dependent on individual behaviors, characteristics and interpretations. Business education, like health, safety or environmental education helps us in our personal lives. Our capacity to store can take much more than we can really put in...or get out.....i'm all for business education being useful. I find the works of some of the current 'gurus' quite interesting. When I purchase a new book, I try to get one that covers what a number of other books deal with." | |
| └► Adonis Adoyi (Nigeria) | Is business education essential | "At first I used to think that one does not need a business administrator to establish ones own business, but with time I have come to realise the intricacies in businesses and the surrounding environment. In fact I am now conviced that there is no business without an administrator." | |
| └► KK Verma (India) | Education Helps Unlearning which is useful | "'Use of all this information' is a very huge question. Actually from my point of view, any learning helps you to unlearn many things. If somebody uses this hidden agenda of learning to unlearn, he or she may be able to make use of learning. Unlearning is essential in today's world to make use of whatever you learn. " | |
| └► Phil Harrison (Canada) | Acquiring Learning Skills | "I think it is a mistake to focus on remembering the readings and lecture notes. The real value of higher education is in the learning skills you acquire. Critical thinking may come naturally to a few people but most have to work at it and the college/university environment promotes it. Over time all the books become obsolete and so do specific subject areas, but the ability to continue to tackle new challenges with a disciplined mind is best acquired in higher learning environments." | |
| └► Jagdish B Acharya (India) | Business challenges require more than MBA | "Business challenges require more than what any course like MBA may cover as harmonised body of knowledge. It requires one to have much better knowledge of human relations and interactions. However MBA gives good inputs which help individuals in recognising their limitations and find solutions which are robust. Without MBA the decisions could be based on intuition and judgement about other's abilities." | |
| └► lo (China) | Is business education useful? | "Actually in China, business education is useful. But choose the nessary one first" | |
| └► Rafiudeen (Qatar) | The Education Business | "Whether the business education is useful or not, educational institutions are doing good business. So, instead of attending business educational courses, you may spend time with those who are doing educational business. This is not for fun, but a serious concern." | |
| └► Jagdish B Acharya (India) | Labels of Education Make Business Attractive | "Education has three broad uses: - knowledge - discrimination power or wisdom to use knowledge - employability to obtain a job to use the previous two ones. The first two objectives are the basic purposes, but the third one is also important. The labels or degrees conferred by the institutes possess certain brand value and legal value by which employers who do not know how to gauge knowledge take help in recruiting. It is these labels which generate business value in the whole scene and where the money comes in." |
|
| └► Miguel Chavez Olivares (Mexico) | Education, Degrees and Knowledge | "In these topics a life cycle exists. There is a devalaution process depending of the changes in technology and in markets, after which we need to revaluate and even start a recycling or a reinvention process for our knowledge base. Actually a bachelor degree devaluates in 4 or 5 years and it is necessary to perform continuous maintenance to avoid its decadence. Generally when a freshman starts a career in an organization, a revaluation process is started to complete the knowledge base needed by the organization and this process is not alway succesful even if a good MBA exists." |
| └► Kala Ganapathy (Malaysia) | Knowledge Management Approach | "Knowledge is the vital and the most important ingredient in any management. Each and everyone could increase their knowledge in many different, simple and easier ways nowadays. So I feel the best management approach that any company should adapt or practise is definitely knowledge management." | |
| └► Jahanbakhsh Jahansouz (Iran) | Project Based Management Concept | "As nowadays the business approaches by units /organizations are more complex and on the other hand, they are facing many unpredictable/uncommon factors and challenges, which may have strong potentialities and can threaten their planned market share and their survival finally, it seems that the project based management concept could be a very suitable solution. In this way, the management body will be able to manage the subject business processes more successfully. Overall the extension and conversion of the role of the assigned workforce to the duties of project team members, can produce better and more reliable conditions / environment, to direct the whole organization towards the predetermined goals and towards more productivity and achievements." |
|
| └► John Troughton (Australia) | Fayol | "It is a sad commentry on business management in that while all nature keeps evolving, business management stands still for 100 years. But this is true. Only Deming advanced the cause." | |
| └► Edgardo C. Diansuy (Philippines) | Management with Human Rights Approach | "Basic management evolves with the multi-deviated skills, knowledge, skills, trainings and others are well acknowledged and the ingredients of management. Regional culture and human rights of the individual must play a vital role in management for the achievement of excellent output.. Happy new year to all" | |
| └► Sanjay Verma (Kenya) | Fayol still Relevant | "Fayol is so relevant even today, although I believe that any conscious imposition of a management theory is an indication of an inherent conflict in any organisation. The implementation has to be seamless and continuous, like a way of life for it to be effective! Any management theory is after all either a documented collage of experience or an accumulation of observed facts ie empirical. Hence the modus or way of implementation of such information or knowledge is more important than the knowledge itself." |
| └► Rogerio (Portugal) | Personal Studies | "I agree with Jagish' thinking. I believe that in the future, after a level of "degree", anyone can have a personal training in a desired specific interest area." | |
| └► D P Babu (India) | Education Without Degree | "Education is continuous learning through experience culminating into a knowledge base which is versatility used. Hence there is no comparison between education with a mere degree and education acquired through experiential learning." | |
| └► Anthony Belon (Malaysia) | Judging Education Without a Degree | "How to judge? As I see it - best is by Examples, Degree of impacts, Effects, Influences. Here are some examples: 1. The life & teachings of Lord Jesus Christ is an education without degree. Scholars do degrees to educate themselves on "his education without degree". Impacts... 2. Ferdinand Magellan & Christopher Columbus - sailing around the world did not have degree in sea-navigation. Effects... on exploration 3. Sir Winston Churchill - prime minister - leading UK victoriously during WWII did not have a university degree. Leadership charisma... 4. Bill Gates did not have a degree to become who and what he is now. Microsoft..." |
| └► Rameshwer Rao (India) | MBA | "When taken seriously, while pursuing an MBA, an incumbent can learn deep rooted concepts of Management. Functioning of business solely depends on talented people possessing knowledge in business principles which are taught only in MBA." |
