KTS is open to anyone who wants to make a difference in our community," said Rev. Eric R Lee, executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater Los Angeles. "It is our aim to transfer the knowledge and experience of 20th century leaders to 21st century leaders to be able to come up with a leadership institute to deal with a variety of issues and embraces all of the different levels of leadership from community-based organizations and block clubs. The slate of confirmed speakers was a veritable "who is who" among the Black Los Angeles Leadership and included; Danny J. Bakewell, Jr., executive editor of the Los Angeles Sentinel and president of The Bakewell Company; Assembly-members Karen Bass and Mervyn Dymally, Willis Edwards, former NAACP executive; Dr. Ma...
This paper presents a prototype detailing an implementation plan that provides the linkage of benefits of knowledge transfer, competitiveness theories, and distance learning, to facilitate the development of education and skills that will advance the micro-enterprises in developing nations. The architecture hinges on a multi-pronged approach in which digital knowledge transfer from successful institutions is the core of the model. A complete project implementing this architecture has been developed to increase the competitiveness of businesses in Kogi State, Nigeria. This specific example directly supports and educates the poor Nigerian artisans and small businesses by enhancing Information Technology education at the Kogi State University and by establishing a Small Business Developmen...
In the pre-industrial age, communities existed to connect people. During the industrial revolution, workplace tasks were divided into small chunks to help employers define their employees' roles and responsibilities. With the advent of the knowledge worker, the workplace has undergone another transformation. Now, jobs that involve the most complex type of interactions make up the fastest-growing segments in many industries. As the importance of grows, organizations are looking to communities of practice (CoPs) as a solution. A community of practice, according to Wikipedia.com, refers to the process of social learning that occurs when people who have a common interest or problem collaborate over an extended period to share ideas, find solutions, and build inno...
The literature suggests that transferring knowledge may lead to a competitive advantage, synergistic cost advantages, and better implementation of organizational strategies, but there is little empirical evidence to guide organizations in managing the knowledge transfer process. This research explores how organizations use communication media to transfer or share knowledge. Building upon media richness theory (Daft and Lengel, 1986), we hypothesize that rich media would be used more often to transfer know-how or tacit knowledge, and lean media would be used more often to transfer information or explicit knowledge. The results of our survey of 287 employees in five hospitals provided support for our hypotheses and were relatively consistent for hospital administrators, nursing directors,...
Because of the projected retirement of its baby boom workers, Inland Northwest Health Services (INHS) is running internal management and leadership classes for employees as part of its overall succession plan, says Phyllis Gabel, chief human resources officer at the Spokane-based nonprofit, which has about 1,050 employees.
The use of intraindustry executive succession as an organizational learning mechanism is explored. Drawing from the knowledge management, executive succession, and competitive dynamics literatures, a conceptual model is developed that suggests organizations use this form of succession to access tacit, architectural knowledge held by rivals in order to implement rapid competitive responses. This phenomenon may also lead to reduced long-term performance by promoting imitation and intense rivalry among industry incumbents. However, a more unique response may result from power dynamics associated with the executive integration process that blend the knowledge of the new executive with existing organizational routines and capabilities.
