Abstract

Designing an interdisciplinary graduate program in knowledge management requires a good understanding of knowledge processes and the ability to differentiate between information management and knowledge management. Given the complexity of knowledge and the nature of its existence, there is a need for graduate programs to go beyond information management and include in the curriculum disciplines that deal with social, cultural, and economic issues such as communication, cognitive science, and business. An understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of knowledge management is necessary for a more balanced and practical approach to the development of a knowledge management curriculum. In this article, the design and development of an interdisciplinary graduate program in knowledge management at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore is reported. The initiation of the program was influenced by the strong demand from the public sector in Singapore for knowledge management professionals. It was developed in close association with the information studies program at Nanyang Technological University. In the first year, the program attracted 230 applicants, of which 45 were selected-22 students came from the public sector and 23 students came from the private sector.

Abstract

The strong interest in knowledge management in Asia can be attributed, in part, to the Asian economic crises that took place in 1998, and in part, to the realization by many organizations of the importance of knowledge as a competitive factor in increasingly global world economies. The economic crises affected the lives of millions of people in Asia, and forced governments and companies across the region to review their organizational and business strategies. It slowed down one of the fastest growing economic regions in the world and raised questions regarding business, cultural, and ethical practices. Some of the issues that were highlighted because of the Asian economic crises include the lack of transparency in business transactions and the cultural resistance to information and knowledge sharing at different levels within the organization. Organizational culture has a great impact an information and knowledge-sharing activities, which are central to any discussion an knowledge management.
