The development and expansion of knowledge management as an important management philosophy has a significant impact on human resources management as well as on organization as a whole. In this context, knowledge management processes have been used as a strategic tool within human resources management.Therefore, functions of human resources management must adapt itself to this change. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of human resources management in the management of knowledge and to reveal the effects of knowledge management practices on the functions of human resources byexamining the relationship between human resources and knowledge management. In this context, a theoretical investigation was conducted. It has been determined that significant changes occurred on the functions of human resources management such as selection and recruitment, performance management, remuneration and reward, training and development within the framework of the knowledge management strategies.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is explore the relative effectiveness of people-based and information technology-based knowledge management (KM) strategies as implemented by principals in Hong Kong schools to facilitate and sustain Lesson Study for teachers’ knowledge sharing and internalization. Design/methodology/approach Data from 184 principals in Hong Kong were collected by a cross-sectional quantitative survey. Confirmatory factor analysis and reliability tests have been used to examine the constructed validity and reliability of the instrument. A structural equation model was applied to confirm the predictive effect of people-based and information technology-based KM strategies on teachers’ knowledge sharing and internalization through Lesson Study. Findings Results show that people-based KM strategy predicts knowledge sharing and internalization by and among teachers. However, while information technology-based knowledge management strategies predict teachers’ knowledge sharing, they do not predict how effectively they internalize knowledge. Practical implications Cultivating communities of practice, professional learning communities and mentoring schemes in schools can nurture a knowledge-sharing culture to facilitate and sustain Lesson Study for teacher learning. Institutionalizing an information technology system can help teachers to retrieve, share and store the school’s explicit knowledge. Originality/value The paper not only suggests school management strategies and practices for school leaders to facilitate and sustain Lesson Study, but also brings a new research dimension, KM, to the research area.

Knowledge Management Initiatives

ABSTRACTNowadays the most valued asset of the organizations is their knowledge, who is embodiedinto routines, products, services and employees. Knowledge Management arises as a set of strategiessupported by Information Technologies (IT) that tries to leverage the knowledge resources at themaximumlevelto obtaincompetitiveadvantagesthrough newservicesand productscreation,as wellas improving the existing, optimizing the customers relationships, streamlining the time of routinesand serving information and knowledge to the employees on time. The Cloud Computing paradigmdefined by Gartner as: "a computing style where the IT capacities, scalable and elastic, are providedby a service to customers using internet technologies" offers a set of technological advantages to theorganizations that wants to incorporate it in their IT projects. Companies that start knowledge management initiatives, can leverage the Cloud Computing features to maximize the scope of their projects, and in that way obtain advantages among competition. In this paper will be exposed several waysabout how the organizations can upgrade their knowledge management strategies through Cloud Computing features.RESUMENActualmente el activo más preciado de las organizaciones es su conocimiento, el cual se encuentra dentro de las rutinas, productos, servicios y empleados. La Gestión del Conocimiento surge como una serie de estrategias soportadas por Tecnologías de Información (TI) que buscan aprovechar al máximo los recursos de conocimiento para obtener ventajas competitivas por medio de la creación de nuevos servicios y productos, así como la mejora de los existentes, optimización de las relaciones con los clientes, agilización del tiempo de las rutinas y entrega de Información y conocimientos a los empleados en el momento requerido. El paradigma Cloud Computing definido por Gartner como: “un estilo de computación donde las capacidades TI, escalables y elásticas, son proveídas como un servicio a clientes usando tecnologías de internet” ofrece una serie de ventajas tecnológicas para las organizaciones que decidan a hacer uso de este en sus proyectos de TI. Las entidades que emprendan iniciativas de gestión del conocimiento, pueden aprovecharse de las características de Cloud Computing para maximizar el alcance de las mismas y así obtener ventajas con respecto a sus competidores en el mercado. En esta ponencia se expondrán varias maneras de como las organizaciones pueden poten-ciar sus estrategias de gestión del conocimiento a través de las ventajas y características que ofrece Cloud Computing.

Different Parts

Software process improvement is a practical concern in software companies today and it has been addressed in research. Part of this research has applied a knowledge management perspective. Researchers point out that two different strategies exist where a mixture is difficult to maintain: Personalization (focus on people and their collaboration) and codification (focus on documents and their accessibility). This paper addresses different knowledge management problems of a software company and how they can be alleviated. A prototype, which distinguishes between different organizational levels (e.g., software managers and software developers) and applies different knowledge management strategies, was built. It consists of a wiki and an enterprise system. This article shows how each part of the system focuses on one of the strategies and describes the differences for tool support. This combination could be beneficial because the connection between the two different parts of the prototype works. Further implications for practitioners are explained.

Two Factors

This chapter outlines the adoption and implementation of knowledge management within the New Zealand Reserve Bank. In 1999, the Bank recognised that it had a very high exposure to loss of knowledge on departure of key staff. This was mainly due to two factors: recruitment of staff from a limited global pool of specifically skilled labour, and an average length of service of more than nine years during which time staff members accumulated an extensive knowledge of the Bank and its operations. In response to this and other challenges, the Bank embarked on an ongoing knowledge management program. The Bank invested significant resources into the program and from an initial corporate vision developed a knowledge management framework that led to the identification of potential areas of improvement within the organisation. The resulting knowledge strategy encompassed several key initiatives, the most significant of which was the goal of changing the organisational culture. Other initiatives included the consolidation of the Bank’s contact management into a single system, a review of the existing document management system, and information mapping. To date, while some initiatives have been achieved, others remain to be done. The challenge for the Bank now is to move from structured to unstructured processes for knowledge management and maintain the knowledge management focus while balancing available resources. The Bank must also consider how best to progress initiatives without necessarily attaching a specific knowledge management label, and identify ways to move ongoing development of knowledge management strategies to the next level.

Governance Processes

This chapter introduces the theory and model of governance as a means of implementing knowledge management strategies in large organizations. It draws on case study research into the governance of knowledge management strategy implementation in a major scientific research and development facility. It suggests that the implementation of strategy through such a framework operates to ensure the delivery of anticipated benefits in an authorized and regulated manner. Furthermore, the authors hope that an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of internal governance processes will not only inform researchers of a better design for studying knowledge management systems, but will also assist in the understanding of risks and the role of evaluation and review in the implementation of those strategies.
