Welcome
to the KM Research Program
|
|
The
KM Research Program at Monash
University, School
of Information Management & Systems - SIMS is
one of the formal research groups operating since 1995.
We are conducting studies towards a comprehensive approach
to knowledge management for intelligent decision support.
We proposed a model to support a task-based knowledge
management which helps people to explicitly recognise
existing and to create new knowledge while performing
a task. It follows our "learning-by-doing"
philosophy.

What is Knowledge Management?
|
|
Knowledge
Management is a broad concept that addresses the
full range of processes by which an organisation
deploys knowledge.
These
involve the acquisition, retention, storage, distribution
and use of knowledge in an organisation.
|
What
are the aims of the KM Program?
|
|
The KM Program aims to:
- conduct
research into optimising knowledge management for
internal and external stakeholders, with particular
reference to information agencies themselves
- to
become a centre of excellence in research, research
training, consulting and teaching in the area of knowledge
management
- conduct
and coordinate a range of activities in the KM area
at Monash and beyond
- generate
publications and research students projects
|
What the KM Program does?
|
|
We
study both technological and organisational/managerial
challenges associated with introducing KM into the enterprises.
We have and are conducting a number of projects which
apply and refine the theoretical models we proposed.
To
explore various technological approaches we created
a KM Lab
- a Virtual Laboratory. KM Lab is a flexible state-of-the-art
facility to support research, research training and
teaching in enterprise knowledge management.
The laboratory is based at the Caulfield campus of Monash
University and serves staff and students on campus as
well as remotely.
The
KM Lab works collaboratively with other SIMS research
groups, in particular:
