    "Knowledge management is the set of practices aimed at discovering and harnessing an organization 's intellectual resources. It 's about finding, unlocking, sharing, and altogether capitalizing on the most precious resources of an organization: people 's expertise, skills, wisdom, and relationships. Knowledge managers find these human assets, help people collaborate and learn, help people generate new ideas, and harness those ideas into successful innovations" (Bateman, 2004, p.8-9). One of the most important factors of change in management is the growing need for good, new ideas. Knowledge management is an approach that allows people to produce change. It 's bringing people together and collecting ideas from the group that can provide further success for the company and personally for the employees. A new idea can produce growth and motivation within a company. If the employees and the company as a whole come together and grasp a new idea, it ultimately can lead to new inventions of products and services. (Lineman, 2004.)…

    To explore the concepts of Data, Information, and Knowledge independently is to attempt building a large and complex puzzle with only a few pieces from the box. While the relationships between these concepts can be as elusive as finding their universal definitions, it is within these relationships that data, information, and knowledge are most meaningful. In the broadest sense, data exists in the form of unorganized and raw facts about the environment that are collected and stored. When this stored data is transformed and processed into something more meaningful and organized, it becomes information. Perhaps most importantly, is knowledge: the collective information stored in the minds of people in organizations over time, and the “set of rules” they use to process that information to make decisions. Upholding the significance of knowledge as a resource is the Knowledge Based Theory of the Firm. Operating based on a few assumptions about the flow of knowledge within the organization; this theory holds knowledge as most strategically important of all the firm’s resources. The Knowledge Based Theory of the firm is also a fierce proponent of common knowledge, emphasizing that successful coordination within the organization relies largely on the presence of common knowledge between its members. At first glance, it seems this theory has completely overlooked the importance of data and information to the firm. But with deeper understanding it becomes apparent that knowledge – as well as information and data – are all largely present in the theory’s foundation.…
