We describe an approach to distributed knowledge acquisition using an ontology. The ontology is used to represent and reason about soldier performance. These methods are embedded in an immersive web based knowledge elicitation and analysis system.

Researchers agree that it is possible to diagnose student’s learning style and that learners with a dominant preference for certain learning style may have difficulties in knowledge acquisition in conditions where teaching strategy is not compatible with it. This paper presents an experimental work conducted in order to determine if students with different learning styles have different navigat...

In the new economy, firms are willing to pay abundant premiums for the significant entrepreneurial capacities of management and staff in order to develop, build, protect, transfer and integrate knowledge. Although companies and scholars have indeed recognized the value of knowledge management, they have not generally included customer, supplier, and competitor knowledge, preferring to emphasize...

Although virtual teams have become increasingly important for managing knowledge work in present organizations, the extant literature suggests that they are faced with significant hurdles to knowledge acquisition and integration. On the other hand, research focusing on knowledge management in virtual teams is yet to be enriched. This dissertation aims to add to the understanding of the mechanis...

Knowledge Sharing is by far the most important component of a Knowledge Management programme. Organisations strive to gain competitive advantage through efficiencies. When organisations realise that organisational knowledge is by far the most valuable resource they need to find ways for efficient and effective Knowledge Sharing. We explore the barriers to knowledge sharing especially in virtual...

Building on Shannon‟s lead, let‟s consider a more malleable expression for tracking uncertainty, and states of “knowledge available” vs. “knowledge missing,” to better practice innovation, improve risk management, and successfully measure progress of intractable undertakings. Shannon‟s formula, and its common replacements (Renyi, Tsallis) compute to increased knowledge whenever two competing ch...

Knowledge Management (KM) is based in large part on systems that help users focus their attention on key information that is relevant, timely, and available on-demand. The preparation of this information requires processes for knowledge acquisition, engineering, and representation because “knowledge and expertise are embedded within otherwise diverse and scattered information sources” (Convera,...

Background: In order to reduce the adverse effects of unethical decision-making in the operations function of firms, this study was conducted to identify and determine the causal relationships governing ethical decision barriers in operations and supply chain management. Method: This research is applied in terms of purpose and survey in terms of data acquisition. The research population includ...

Do employers substitute adults for children, or do they treat adults as complements to children? Any policy to reduce child labor depends on the answer to this question, but any empirical strategy to answer it must overcome two obstacles: (1) whatever program reduces child labor supply must have no direct impact on adult labor demand. (2) Any program that changes child labor supply will almost ...
