Abstract: The topic of knowledge
management in the subject of Business Management is complex. By making use of
the cognitive mapping technique to conduct a brief literature review on the knowledge
management topic, the writer renders a systemic image on the topic of knowledge
management. The result of the study, in the form of a cognitive map on knowledge
management, should be useful to those who are interested in the topics of
cognitive mapping, literature review and knowledge management.
Key words: Knowledge
management, cognitive mapping, literature review
Introduction
As a
topic in Business Management, knowledge management is complex. It is thus
useful to employ some learning tool to conduct its study, notably for
literature review purpose. For a teacher in research methods, systems thinking
and management, the writer is specifically interested in finding out how the
cognitive mapping technique can be employed to go through a literature review
on Knowledge management. This literature
review exercise is taken up and reported in this article.
On the cognitive mapping exercise for
literature review
Literature
review is an important intellectual learning exercise, and not just for doing
final year dissertation projects for tertiary education students. On these two
topics of intellectual learning and literature review, the writer has compiled
some e-learning resources. They are the Managerial
intellectual learning Facebook page and the Literature on literature review Facebook page. Conducting
literature review with the cognitive mapping technique is not novel in the
cognitive mapping literature, see Eden and Simpson (1989), Eden, Jones and Sims
(1983), Open University (n.d) and the Literature
on cognitive mapping Facebook page. In this article, the specific steps
involved in the cognitive mapping exercise are as follows:
Step 1:
gather some main points from a number of academic journal articles on Knowledge
management. This result in the production of a table (Table 1) with the main points
and associated references.
Step 2: consolidate the main points from Table 1 to come up with
a table listing the cognitive map variables (re: Table 2).
Step 3: link
up the cognitive map variables in a
plausible way to produce a cognitive map (re: Figure 1) on the topic under
review.
The next
section applies these three steps to produce a cognitive map on knowledge
management.
Descriptions of cognitive map variables on
the knowledge management topic
From the
reading of some academic articles on Knowledge management, a number of main
points (e.g., viewpoints, concepts and empirical findings) were gathered by
the writer. They are shown in Table 1
with explicit referencing on the points.

Point
1: "If knowledge is not something that is different from data or
information, then there is nothing new or interesting in knowledge
management. Yet many managers seem determinedly reluctant to distinguish
between data and information on the one hand and knowledge on the other; and,
more importantly, they seem reluctant to consider the implications of these
distinctions".

|
Point
2: "... any discussion of knowledge is meaningless in the absence of a
"knower." Knowledge is what a knower knows; there is no knowledge without
someone knowing it. Knowledge therefore must be viewed as originating
"between the ears" of individuals".

|
Point 3:
"If knowledge exists ultimately within individuals, and it is
individuals participating simultaneously in multiple group processes who make
and execute key decisions, then a fundamental purpose of "managing
knowledge" must be to build some degree of shared context. "Shared context" means a
shared understanding of an organization's external and internal worlds and
how these worlds are connected".

|
Point
4: "* Knowledge use occurs whenever any agent makes a decision. It is
part of every business process. * Knowledge processing is knowledge
production and knowledge integration, two distinct knowledge processes
constituting the knowledge Life Cycle (KLC). * Knowledge management is
knowledge process management, that is, the management of knowledge
production, knowledge integration, the KLC [knowledge Life Cycle], and their
immediate outcomes".

Point
5: "Knowledge is: "Justified true belief"....
"Information in context".... "Knowledge is understanding based
on experience".... "Knowledge is experience or information that can
be communicated or shared"... "Information, while made up of
data and information, can be thought
of as much greater understanding of a situation, relationships, causal
phenomena, and the theories and rules (both
explicit and implicit) that underlie a given domain or
problem."..... "The most essential definition of knowledge is that
it is composed of and grounded solely in potential acts and in those signs that refer to
them."...".

Point
6: "The definition of knowledge as "justified true belief" has
the difficulty that we cannot know for certain that any knowledge belief, no
matter how well-validated is true. Yet
some knowledge claims, the well validated ones, are what we mean by knowledge".

Point
7: "In Managing in a Time of Great Change, Peter Drucker writes that
"knowledge has become the key economic resource and the dominant - and
perhaps even the only - source of comparative advantage." The consequent implications of this notion for
the way in which a business is run are far reaching and dramatic, influencing
everything from a company's strategy to its products, from its processes to
the very way the firm is organized".

Point
8: ".... eight major categories of knowledge-focused activities: *
screening new knowledge * accessing
valuable knowledge from outside sources
* using accessible knowledge in decision making * embedding knowledge in processes,
products, and/or services * representing
knowledge in documents, databases, and software * facilitating knowledge growth through
culture and incentives * transferring
existing knowledge into other parts of the organization * measuring the value of knowledge assets
and/or impact of knowledge management".

Point
9: "Pointing systems that help people find each other on an "as
needed" basis are also useful for solving certain types of problems.
this is especially true for problems
requiring significant expertise for a short period of time, such as finding
an answer to a specific esoteric question. However, a great deal of what
people learn, and therefore of what the organization comes to know, results from interactions
among workers".

Point
10: "To compete effectively, firms must leverage their existing
knowledge and create new knowledge that favorably positions them in their
chosen markets. In order to accomplish this, firms must develop an
"absorptive capacity" - the ability to use prior knowledge to
recognize the value of new information, assimilate it, and apply it to create
new knowledge and capabilities. In essence, all new resources, including
knowledge, are created through two
generic processes, combination and exchange".

Point
13: "Tacit knowledge (TK) is defined by Polanyi (1962), indicating knowledge which is
nonverbalized or even non-verbalizable, intuitive, unarticulated. Articulated
knowledge (AK) is specified either verbally or in writing, computer programs,
patents, drawings or the like".

Point
14: "...we distinguish between four different levels of carriers, or
agents of knowledge: the individual, the small group, the organization, and
the inter-organizational domain (important customers, suppliers, competitors,
etc). AK [articulated knowledge] and TK [tacit knowledge] exist at
all levels".

15: "Articulation refers to tacit knowledge being made explicit,
articulated. This can take place at all four levels in the model.
Articulation is essential in facilitating transfer of information, but also
for its expansion and improvement, since it allows open scrutiny and critical
testing. In international technology transfer, it is a crucial element both
in the case of licensing and of FDI".

The next
step is to relate the cognitive map variables to make up a cognitive map on knowledge
management. The cognitive map and its explanation are presented in the next
section.
A cognitive map on knowledge management
and its interpretation
By
relating the four variables identified in Table 2, the writer comes up with a
cognitive map on knowledge management, as shown in Figure 1.
These
cognitive map variables, four of them
altogether, are related to constitute a systemic image of knowledge management.
The links in the cognitive map (re: Figure 1) indicate direction of influences
between variables. The + sign shows that an increase in one variable leads to
an increase in another variable while a -ve sign tells us that in increase in
one variable leads to a decrease in another variable. If there no signs shown on the arrows, that
means the influences can be positive or negative. Readers are referred to the Literature on knowledge management Facebook
page for more information on the
topic.
Concluding remarks
The
cognitive mapping exercise captures in one diagram some of the main variables
involved in knowledge management. The resultant cognitive map promotes an
exploratory way to study knowledge management in a holistic tone. The
experience of the cognitive mapping exercise is that it can be a quick,
efficient and entertaining way to explore a complex topic such as knowledge
management in Business Management. Finally, readers who are interested in
cognitive mapping should also find the article informative on this mapping
topic.
