Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Report on industrial attachment with R.J. Crocker Consultants Pte Ltd
No full textThis report documents the undertaking of the author’s six months of industrial attachment. It was the industrial attachment that gave him the opportunity to discover the innovative skills and expertise from his fellow colleagues working the organization. Throughout the attachment, the author had learnt a great deal from various trained and experienced engineers. He had been exposed to a variety of training namely (1) reinforcement concrete design, (2) steel and connection design, (3) modelling structures for design and analysis using software, (4) visual inspections for buildings, (5) preparing tender documents, (6) drawing, presentation and attending and (7) handling online submissions for building inspections, structural plans, design calculations, etc. Furthermore, by attending project meetings, preparing materials for presentations, tendering documents and drawings to privatized companies and public sectors all bestowed the author a concrete understanding of the type and quality of work required of and produced by a qualified engineer. Without the industrial attachment, all these practical skills and knowledge might not have been attainable by learning in the university alone. It was overall a fruitful experience

R.B. Bennett and the charge of one-man government : an analysis of his relationship with potential rivals
No full text1974The purpose of this paper is to study R.B. Bennett's style of government from 1930-1935, a period in which Bennett has been labelled the Prime Minister of a "one-man government". An attempt will be made to assess the validity of this accusation by analyzing the nature of the relationship between R.B. Bennett and several of his cabinet members: Arthur Meighan, Minister without Portfolio, C.H. Cahan, Secretary of State of Canada, Harry Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, and R.J. Manion, Minister of Railways and Canals. There has been no attempt to analyze Bennett's relationship with every cabinet colleague. Stevens, the M.P. who bolted from the Conservative Party in 1935 and R.J. Manion, Bennett's successor to the Conservative leadership receive more detailed attention than Meighen or Cahan in the analysis. From this study, it is hoped that a meaningful assessment can be made of the charge that Bennett ran a "one-man government". This forms the major theme of the paper
