From selling groceries to exploring the galaxy: Managing Knowledge in Organizations

Knowledge Management: Cultural Impact and Scientific Achievement

The Managing Knowledge in Organizations course, part of the Sustainability Acceleration Program offered under the Certificate of Leadership Development (CLD) program, aims to equip Frontier-Spirited participants with understanding of modern knowledge- and innovation-based businesses critical to their everyday operation and longevity. Since the onset of COVID-19, 2nd year students have taken up the opportunity to join CLD virtual courses to earn extra credits within their programs.

In Day 2 of the course, participants compared different ideas of knowledge management and how they specifically contribute to the varying goals of different organizations. Comparing the knowledge management practices of REMA 1000, a multinational grocery chain, with that of NASA, the space exploration agency of the US government, Prof. Law explored how knowledge can be used to impact consumer behavior by influencing a culture, or to capture and internally transfer unique specialist knowledge necessary for advancing progress toward achievement.
