Knowledge Culture
As part of an organization, knowledge is something that is crucial in the execution of my work responsibilities. Serving as an internal consultant, I need a renewing vigilance in terms of the latest strategies and information in my field of practice. But knowledge as an organizational product and culture is not yet formally supported in my organization.
Knowledge culture as defined by Oliver & Kandadi (2006) is "a way of organizational life that enables and motivates people to create, share and utilize knowledge for the benefit and enduring success of the organization”. Although the pivotal elements of creating, sharing and utilizing are present in my organization, the crucial element of culture is missing. In my team, we

ICT being a driver of globalization makes the creation, sharing and access of knowledge easier and more available to a lot of people across geographical, political and cultural boundaries.
ICTs play a crucial role in my practice. I take advantage of technologies to enhance the learning process in my workshops. I use computers, blackboards, laser pointers, prezi, powerpoint, classroom response system and other technology to deliver my materials as well as to compliment my presentation. It does not only enhance the learning process but it helps me in dealing with the limited attention span of my participants by varying my methodologies. Not only ICTs facilitate the absorption information, it also helps people form a

Part of my identity is a result of my interaction and learning in these communities. My motivation is the enjoyment I get as a senior member of the group- a status that is part of my identity as a person. These groups will not suffice the definition of communities of practice, but the small groups emanated from these online communities, which I am a part of, do. And since I am coming from various disciplines and communities, I am able to introduce some information from one group to another and from the bigger online community to the smaller communities of practice of human resources and psychology. Wenger called this “ brokering”. This sustains my interest as well fortifies my multiple and interrelated involvement in to these online communities and the communities of practice they helped
Instead, the users understand the information vaguely as if they skimmed a passage as opposed to reading it. Therefore, the Internet results in people absorbing information ineffectively due to its
Curtis shows that communities are formed when people lend a helping hand without being asked. Curtis’s assistance towards Royce is critical to the making of this community, because it shows how a community can be a support system when facing
A community where people inhabit, who are no particularly close in physical proximity, yet close in the in the way that a group of people is intimately involved. They are this way because the constant stream of updates made throughout each individual’s day, routinely updating the user with new trivial information into the individual’s life. This can create a phenomenon Thompson describes as ambient awareness, the effect of unconsciously learning the habits of patterns of people who post frequently. Postman argues that community is “made up of people who may not have similar interest, but who must negotiate and resolve their differences for the sake of social harmony”. To have such a community, implies collaboration, debate, and overall a common goal.
A time that I felt out of place was my first few days at college. My parents had just left and I knew no one. I was in a strange environment and didn't know what to do. I felt this way because I was used to my same routine for almost 18 years. To feel comfortable in this new environment, I had to find a place where I could be myself but also find a new routine.
After this research experience, I hope to have a better understanding of my place in the world of
The Importance of a Company’s Culture The culture of a company is one of the most important and sometimes overlooked factors in an organization. The culture can increase employee engagement and increase productivity which will allow a company to reach its goals, “From productivity and engagement in the organization’s day-to-day, to an employer brand that naturally fuels recruiting efforts, to creating a lasting brand that customers immediately recognize, there’s no escaping it – culture radiates outward into the marketplace” (Straz 2015). The culture can have a great impact on the employees. Employees thrive in a positive working environment and the ability to engage with their managers without fear of retaliation.
An organisations culture is a reflection of its identity. How employees act and talk about the business reflects on Boost Juice’s brand imagine (Chron,2016). Looking at Grace for example, Janine said that she reflects the youthful Juice Boost culture. Having a positive motivated manager will reflect on the whole team and inspire them. When Tina started cutting back her hours as a manager at her store in Perth due to health issues, the stores figures went down, proving that the team follow the attitude and effort put in by the manager.
By using the information literacy it is was to finding and using information in all sorts of contexts, such

Knowledge management is a process to ensure that knowledge developed through individuals and group work activities is effectively captured and made available to those who may benefit from it. An example would be to build into project plans the time for review and to identify at the outset how information, knowledge and experience will be captured, stored and shared with other individuals and/or areas of the organisation that may have an interest in the experience and knowledge gained as a result of the project. The importance and value of knowledge management has been brought into sharper focus in the current climate of financial constraint and the need to do more with
Technology really helps students improve their time management when it comes to studying. Finally, without technology students end up wasting extensive periods of time in search for specific information that they could have otherwise quickly and easily found on the Internet within a few
Communities deliberately seek to expand the internal and external resources and experts available to individuals. 4. Knowledge management: Communities steward the knowledge in their domain with a view toward solving problems that have not yet been discovered. Maximising communities impact Traditionally, organizations paid little attention to the operations of communities because they saw participation in them as a marginal activity, intended to benefit the members and not necessarily the company. But our research reveals that companies can increase the operational effectiveness of communities in four
Cultural Anthropology is the study of human beings, their behavior and how patterns in their language, personalities, gender, family, art, politics or rituals learned from being a part of a certain society gives meaning to their existence and affects how they organize their lives. Culture Involves Concepts, Generalizations, Abstractions, Assumptions, and Ideas. The ants are locked into the specifics of their nest-building behavior. It must work the same all the time. If some important variable is different, the ants cannot make specific adjustments.
In the classroom, technology can encompass all kinds of tools from low-tech pencil, paper, and chalkboard, to the use of presentation software, or high-tech tablets, online collaboration and conferencing tools, and more. The newest technologies allow us to try things in physical and virtual classrooms that were not possible before. Today, I cannot imagine how difficult it is to teach without technology and how hard it is to learn without it. Technology plays a major part in our lives as students.
