Knowledge
Management
Conscious knowledge handling not only adds up to increasing
the quantity of available information, but also boosting the
quality of the locating and evaluating processes for the needed
information. Logically, knowledge management also encompasses
retaining concealed corporate knowledge while getting rid of
superfluous knowledge.
EIKV is very pragmatic in that it looks upon knowledge management
as organising, providing, distributing and utilising all information
and capabilities for carrying out specified jobs in the best
way including and applying organisational structures, constraints
and employees' behavioural patterns.
This process should take advantage of all tools available in
state-of-the-art information and communication infrastructures.
This has the objective target of building up experience and
expertise databases not only to make already existing stocks
of information and knowledge, but also latent employee knowledge
available (such as experience and tacit knowledge).
Knowledge management is dedicated to the goal of making the
expertise accessible on a global scale as well as obvious and
concealed capabilities in the heads of our employees available
to a company so that they can be efficiently used for getting
the job done.

Hands-on
Knowledge Management
Professor Dr. André
F. Reuter has discovered that there are only a few companies
that are willing to persevere on this path.
As a member of the Advisory Board for eEurope of the European
Commission in Brussels, the Luxemburg-based Professor grapples
with methods and models that provide a measure of intangible
assets in company.
He believes far too few management personnel are aware of the
fact that that these values boost the market value of a company
enormously. “But, we on the path to a virtual economy”
according to Reuter.
And in no more than a couple of years this will be a key issue
when the companies in the European Union will have to report
not only the material in balance sheets, but also the intangible
values such as the knowledge of their employees: What social
values and corporate values make companies valuable?
