MGMT 3325 - Knowledge Management

Prerequisite: MGMT 2210. This course will familiarize you with some of the organizational and management issues surrounding the emergence of information and knowledge as key factors in developing and maintaining competitive advantages for firms. This course is organized around two ideas: knowledge as a manageable asset, and why people in organizations sometimes don't use what they know. A basic assumption in this course is that organizations are complex adaptive systems operating in highly competitive, information- and knowledge-rich environments. This course also uses perspectives from Positive Organizational Scholarship as a possible framework for understanding how to get people in an organization to use what they know. 3 credits.
