State of art of knowledge management in India
- 2005
- p.69-79.
The current era is a knowledge era, where knowledge has emerged as a critical resource and thus needs to be given all out support and fillip. In this era Indian industry faces hyper competition from all quarters for which harnessing of sound knowledge management (KM) practices assumes critical significance. Given this context, it is thus appropriate to review state-of-art of knowledge management practices in India. Accordingly, it is attempted to review state-of-art of KM both from macro and micro-perceptives. This study reviews three important sectors of the economy in this regard, namely, pharmaceuticals, information technology and petroleum. The paper apart from presenting sectorwise empirical results broadly concludes that KM though highly important for the Indian industry is in nascent stage of application and not receiving adequate focus and attention it deserves. -Reproduced.
