Essay Instructions: Knowledge management is no longer the brand-new and revolutionary idea that it was 20 years ago, but it is still an extremely useful approach and one that emphasizes that information technology alone is not the solution to organizational problems but merely a set of tools that enables an organization to deal with its fundamental issues of purpose, resources, and outcomes. To begin our attention to these issues, consider these two general introductions to the topic of KM and its uses:

Now let's turn to a specific case illustration of KM in practice. In Bangalore, India, Titan Industries operates in the watch, jewellery and eyewear sectors, as well as precision engineering for aerospace and automobiles. Titan was launched in 1984, Tanishq jewelry in 1996, and the eyewear division in 2007. With a turnover of Rs 6,000,000,000, Titan is the fifth largest branded watch manufacturer in the world. Its watch brands include Titan, Sonata, Fastrack and Xylys. The Titan network has over 600 stores in India, and is the largest jewellery retailer in India (via Tanishq, GoldPlus, Zoya stores).

The combination of multibrand stores, large format stores, precision engineering and fierce competition has called for rapid learning across the workforce. The following description of Titan's experiewnces is rather interesting:

When you've had a chance to read this article, review information from the background readings and research other sources on your own, please prepare a 3-5 page paper on the topic:

?The effects of Titan?s KM initiatives on the various parts of the business, and how the information and technology effects are related to each other?

Essay Instructions: knowledge management represents accessing and using information existing within the firm, then it must be complemented with so-called "business intelligence" representing other information existing in the firm's environment. And neither of them is worth much unless supplemented with the kind of deep understanding embodied in what are called "business analytics". The nature of these tools, and their ties to the underlying information to which they are applied, are the subject of much current business interest. In this case, we take a look at some of the attitudes and ideas about analytics and business intelligence in light of the general problems of knowledge management. A good place to start would be this general review of the issues of analytics and their application:

A few years ago, Tom Davenport, one of the chief gurus of knowledge management, wrote a piece entitled "Competing with Analytics", arguing that businesses could develop serious competitive advantage by understanding their information better. This has not really developed according to plan, as the second source here notes. Please review these two points of view of the basis for what follows:

One reason, of course, is that the world keeps changing, both in terms of business realities and technological possibilities. The Gartner Group is one of the consulting firms most known for trying to keep up with trends; here is their latest take on what's going on in the knowledge management area (just listen to the recording; you don't need to pay money to download their actual report):
