Most people who hold this idea have computer and information science backgrounds, and they view knowledge management from the IT perspective. In their view, knowledge is hidden in data and information. As long as the data and information are well managed, it is equivalent to managing knowledge well. Obviously, they emphasize the carrier of knowledge and ignore the ontology of knowledge. In fact, knowledge ontology has its own characteristics and operating rules, which are completely different from data and information, so it is definitely different from data and information management. Concept 2: Enterprise knowledge management is equal to the management of enterprise knowledge assets.
People who hold this idea have backgrounds in financial and capital operation management, and they look at knowledge management from the perspective of enterprise resources and property. In their view, knowledge is valuable and can be independently owned as property rights. Managing these valuable intellectual property rights well and generating greater value is equal to knowledge management. Obviously, they emphasize the value characteristics of knowledge ontology, ignoring the movement characteristics of knowledge ontology and its role in other resources of enterprises. Obviously, the understanding and tracking management of the movement characteristics of knowledge and the functional characteristics of other resources is not an asset property right management. Concept 3: Knowledge management equals personnel management.
Most people who hold this idea have backgrounds in sociology and human resource management, and they look at knowledge management from the perspective of human resources. In their view, knowledge is in people's hands, and knowledge is only a measure to optimize human resources. Managing good people and human resources is equal to knowledge management. Obviously, they emphasize that knowledge owners can only be individuals, not collective "people", ignoring the importance of collective or enterprise mastering knowledge. People are changing. If knowledge is only in the hands of individuals, with the flow of individuals, the knowledge of enterprises is unstable and may even be lost. Therefore, knowledge management is not only to let individuals master knowledge well. Concept 4: Knowledge management equals knowledge resource management.
Most people who hold this idea have working backgrounds in library science, information science and information resource management, and they look at knowledge management from the perspective of books and information management. In their view, knowledge is always written as explicit, visible and readable documents, and managing these documents according to good categories and themes is equivalent to knowledge management. Obviously, they only emphasize explicit knowledge management, ignoring a lot of tacit knowledge, ignoring the transformation from tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge to promote management, and even ignoring the dynamic characteristics of knowledge. Therefore, knowledge management is more than just the management of knowledge resources. Concept 5: Knowledge management equals learning and innovation management.
Most people who hold this idea have experience in technology, scientific research and management. They do not pursue the process of knowledge generation, processing and application, nor explore the meaning of knowledge, but directly look at knowledge management from the purpose. It can be said that they have grasped the purpose and core of knowledge management, but after all, knowledge management is a complete process, not only to clarify the purpose, but also to know the source and process.
