Knowledge.
Sharing
Charles E. Beck, Un vers ty of Colorado at Colorado Spr ngs, USA
Abstract
An integrative, systems-based model of knowledge sharing can provide a way of
visualizing the interrelated elements that comprise a knowledge management system.
This original model, building on a rhetorical process model of communication,
includes both the objective and subjective elements within the human cognition. In
addition, it clarifies the purpose and method elements at the center for any effective
knowledge system. The model centers on the purpose elements of intentions and
audience, and the method elements of technical tools and human processes. The
output of knowledge sharing includes objective products and subjective interpretations.
Feedback verifies the timeliness and efficiency in the process of building both
information and knowledge.
