Knowledge management in small enterprises
No full textThis paper investigates the extent to which six factors drawn from the theory and practice of knowledge management can be applied in small organisations. The factors are: balance between need and cost of knowledge acquisition; the extent to which knowledge originates in the external environment; internal knowledge processing; internal knowledge storage; use and deployment of knowledge within the organisation; and attention to human resources. Three cases demonstrate that the fundamental concepts and principles of knowledge management are similar for small and large organisations. Differences include the value placed on systematic knowledge management practices such as formalised environmental scanning and computer-based knowledge sharing systems. Consultants, and library and information professionals, are advised to understand the organisation's management and communication culture; emphasise simple and inexpensive systems integrated into everyday practice; and establish and monitor adherence to tools such as records management schedules. Information professionals can contribute much by managing systems which use vocabularies to enhance information retrieval for knowledge sharing
The first Internet course: Implications of increased prior participant experience
No full textExamines changes in experience and confidence among students taking their first Internet course at university between 1994 and 2000 in a country with high Internet use. Time series show that the number of participants who had used the Internet before commencing university has increased so it is now rare to encounter a student with no prior experience. While almost all new students are experienced and confident users of e-mail and the WWW, not all have used search engines, and exposure to new and advanced tools is limited. Very few have built a Web page. The first Internet course at universities in countries with high Internet penetration should develop students' understanding of the Internet as it is used in everyday life by developing knowledge of the Internet's history and development, advanced skills in Internet use, and the knowledge required to evaluate the potential of new Internet technologies and applications
The role of spreadsheet knowledge in user-developed application success
No full textSpreadsheets are the most commonly used tool for end user development of applications, and organizations depend heavily upon them for decision making. This paper reports on a study to investigate the role of spreadsheet knowledge in the successful use of spreadsheet applications. It considers both the spreadsheet knowledge of the user developer and the spreadsheet knowledge of the user and tests a model of the effect of spreadsheet knowledge on the success of a user-developed spreadsheet application. Spreadsheet knowledge was shown to be important in two ways. It influences the quality of the system being developed, but it also acts directly upon the individual impact of the application. Successful use appears to require sufficient knowledge to understand and, if necessary, alter the application
Scalable, multidisciplinary learning objects: Technology and pedagogy
No full textLearning requires a dialogue between abstract knowledge, such as theory, and application in specific contexts. A learning object (LO) for learning about network technology, scalable for level of complexity, and usable for abstractions in both business and engineering contexts, was developed through the application of two principles: Separation of Application from Abstraction, and Instructor-guided Abstraction. The LO, design principles, and design and evaluation strategies, are described in this paper

The impact of a short self-management training intervention in a retail banking environment
No full textThe study discussed in this article investigated the impact of a short self-management skills training course on frontline bank employees' learning about the use of self-management to overcome obstacles to the initiation of banking product sales, perceived self-efficacy in initiating the sale of a product, and performance in activities related to customer service. Trainees' scores on these measures were compared with a control group at three times (prior to training, four weeks posttraining, and twenty-four weeks posttraining). The results suggest that self-management training can be a valuable intervention in itself and need not be used solely as a posttraining intervention. Possible explanations for the across-the-board increase in performance observed in the study are discussed, as are some practical and ethical implications of this observation. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc
