Knowledge management is a key element in many organizations. Explicit knowledge exists throughout an organization and has to be organized with knowledge systems to provide support for decisions and problem-solving and planning. Implicit know-ledge is another element in the successful organization that defies ordinary means of organizing. Both are explored. Knowledge-based organizations and ideas like intellectual capital (to compare with financial capital) are hand in hand with the increased collaboration in modern organization. The class explores the richness of these concepts through cases and projects.
