Siemens - Knowledge Management

Every project generates project knowledge that is new knowledge or existing knowledge. However, that project knowledge is not always fully captured, transferred, and disseminated during a project. Due to the nature of projects, this implies a short-term period, limited resources, and multiple procedures. It makes project participants adapt rapidly to new project contexts. There are two mainly obstacles for organizational learning. First, project members do not have enough time to participating in sharing and disseminating activities because the project team members are totally engaged with project tasks (Hanisch et al., 2009). Then, the replacement of key team

The major goal is to integrate Information Systems/Information Technology with the corporate strategy to use information for better governance and management. This has improved with the connectivity and networking and also the shrinking cost- performance ratios in technology. IT governance thus is a result of the complete merger of computer and communications technologies, like data processing and high advancement in networks, and integrated systems. (Bloomfield; et al, 2000) To this extent the software of the stand alone systems have to be converted to a single functional system for all requirements and the system involves the creation of a network with the following functionality:

For the long-term objective, Lenox should reach out to different academic resources so that the top managers can be aware of how IT systems can bring value to their company, and holds great importance for future growth. Having the top executives understand the full benefits and functions of the IT systems will prove to be a substantial long-term solution. The overall lack of knowledge in regards to the new IT systems has resulted in the competitors surpassing Lenox. By having a more user-friendly system, the competitors were also able to catalog their products within their system before Lenox., National Life's implementation is ahead even though their rollout began months

The nature of the market structure and demand of Cisco Systems is its business market which contains fewer but larger companies. For Cisco Systems, this implies that even though they have fewer clients than other companies, they still have a good and profitable relationship with their clients. For the customers of Cisco Systems, this implies that they will receive better and faster service and products because they don’t have to compete for the attention and service of Cisco Systems.

This knowledge management strategy was developed to identify and address communications issues within the WOTB in order to improve the knowledge sharing, not only within the organization, but the classroom and the BN as a whole. Additionally, once the information capturing and sharing is at an efficient level, KMO will work on developing an information sharing asset to maximize the student feedback and ensure curriculum meets doctrinal

KnowledgeNet Enterprises LLC’s target market is the Information Technology Professionals in businesses primarily in the United States and Canada. The company uses a lead generation team as the selection process for this target market. The lead generation team calls on all active businesses in geographic areas in order to find out if the business has an Information Technology department, and then if the department uses any of the networking systems that KnowledgeNet Enterprises LLC offers training for. At this time the company does not offer training for Apple computers so these leads are filtered out. In some cases the business that the Information Technology staff works for will not pay for training. In these cases the company

Ideas for the capabilities and governance also came from the lectures, readings, and previous case work. Although the specifics are much different in that the standardization of equipment is not common between them, the cases all need better business-IT partnerships and oversight. Looking for what makes them similar and different gave a unique perspective to each case.

Carlson Companies, a private company known for its existence in marketing, business, leisure travel, and the hospitality industries, has over 180,000 employees across the United States. Carlson Shared Services, the Information Technology (IT) division, provides services to its internal clients and thus must support a wide range of applications and services. In 2002, the IT division decided to implement a storage area network (SAN) that in turn would meet the six (6) goals established in order to meet the needs of a growing company.

The problems experienced by the NetManager project appear to be symptoms of integration vs. responsiveness issue within Siemens AG. As a transnational company, Siemens faces strong pressure to globally integrate its operations, and be responsive to the needs of their offices and customer’s needs. The main problem with NetManager was that it had mushroomed in size and strategic importance. This was the result of keeping up with the rapidly changing technological demands, and

In order to succeed today, organizations that are competing in global markets are increasing rapidly. The increased use of technologies such as the Internet, intranets, and extranets will definitely revolutionize how businesses will operate and how they will use computers to compete. The Internet and related technologies and applications have changed the ways companies operate their businesses processes and activities. For example, companies can network their offices and share data to be more effective and efficient. However, excessive use of the Internet, intranets, and extranets also create intense

Within the Army organizations of today knowledge management plays a huge role in the dissemination of information to the unit and it’s soldiers. This is no different for the aviation unit in which I operate. This information can be found in FM 6-01.1, Knowledge Management Operations. It defines knowledge management as the process of enabling knowledge flow to enhance shared understanding, learning, and decision-making. But when the unit was surveyed about their understanding of knowledge management the results were surprising.
