We are from Knowledge Sharing Culture

Abstract

With the emergence of knowledge economy, organizational knowledge is rapidly being recognized as a critical resource. Increasingly, organizations are trying to manage these knowledge assets to support their strategic business objectives. In the process, a concept known as ‘Knowledge Management’ (KM), has come into wide use to describe the development of tools, processes, systems, structures and cultures explicitly to improve the creation, sharing and use of knowledge critical for decision making. There are individuals in every organization who want to share and communicate knowledge and also those who prefer to keep their knowledge a private asset. ‘Sharing, leverage and reuse of knowledge should become a part of organizational culture to tap its collective wisdom. The present article is an attempt to bring to notice of how management and knowledge sharing were part and parcel of our culture, practiced since thousands of years and it also stresses that we need to inculcate them and then follow in our daily living.
