This course, per its syllabus, covered the topics of knowledge management and business intelligence “from an organizational perspective.” The content of the course included discussion of and readings on the nature of knowledge; knowledge discovery, generation, capture, transfer, sharing, and application; communities of practice; the relation of core capabilities, core rigidities, and organizational innovation to knowledge management; and trust and ethics in knowledge management.
Assignments in this course included weekly discussion board posts (which I have not included here but can make available upon request), five short papers called “exercises,” and two major exams.
Exercises
The instructions for the exercises were provided in advance, as part of lecture notes for the week the exercise was due. All exercises were to be single-spaced and not exceed two pages in length. Grades and instructor feedback for these exercises are available to my committee upon request.
Exams
The two major exams were written assignments, with the instructions only made available approximately 10 days before they were due. I have password-protected the instructions in case they are to be reused in future. The exams each covered half of the course (the second was not a “final” exam). Again, grades and instructor feedback for these exams are available to my committee upon request.
