HRM 3440 Lecture 1 Notes – Principle: Knowledge management allows organizations to share
knowledge and experience among managers and employees.
Introduction
• Groundbreaking work on game theory was pioneered by John Nash, the mathematician
whose life was profiled in the book and film A Beautiful Mind.
• Informatics, another specialized system, combines traditional disciplines, such as
science and medicine, with computer systems and technology.
• Bioinformatics, for example, combines biology and computer science.
• Also called computational biology, bioinformatics has been used to help map the human
genome and conduct research on biological organisms.
• Using sophisticated databases and artificial intelligence, bioinformatics helps unlock the
secrets of the human genome, which could eventually prevent diseases and save lives.
• Some universities have courses on bioinformatics and offer bioinformatics certification.
• Medical informatics combines traditional medical research with computer science.
• Journals, such as Healthcare Informatics, report current research on applying computer
systems and technology to reduce medical errors and improve health care.
• Informatics can also be used in finance to develop sophisticated and profitable modeling
programs that can analyze market risks and potential.
• Knowledge is an awareness and understanding of a set of information and the ways that
information can be made useful to support a specific task or reach a decision.
• A knowledge management system (KMS) is an organized collection of people,
procedures, software, databases, and devices used to create, store, share, and use the
orgaizatio’s kowledge ad eperiece.
• Explicit knowledge is objective and can be measured and documented in reports,
papers, and rules.
• Tacit knowledge is hard to measure and document and is typically not objective or
formalized. Knowledge workers are people who create, use, and disseminate
knowledge.

• They are usually professionals in science, engineering, business, and other areas.
• The chief knowledge officer (CKO) is a top-level executive who helps the organization
use a KMS to create, store, and use knowledge to achieve organizational goals.
• Some organizations and professions use communities of practice (COP) to create, store,
and share knowledge.

Asking Directly
• One the most basic techniques used in requirements analysis is asking directly.
• Asking directly is an approach that asks users, stakeholders, and other managers about
what they want and expect from the new or modified system.
• This approach works best for stable systems in which stakeholders and users clearly

• The role of the systems analyst during the analysis phase is to critically and creatively
evaluate needs and define them clearly so that the systems can best meet them.

Document Summary
Hrm 3440 lecture 1 notes principle: knowledge management allows organizations to share knowledge and experience among managers and employees. Introduction: groundbreaking work on game theory was pioneered by john nash, the mathematician whose life was profiled in the book and film a beautiful mind. Journals, such as healthcare informatics, report current research on applying computer systems and technology to reduce medical errors and improve health care. Hrm 3440 lecture 2 notes principle: artificial intelligence systems form a broad and diverse set of systems that can replicate human decision making for certain types of well-defined problems. Hrm 3440 lecture 3 notes principle: expert systems can enable a novice to perform at the level of an expert but must be developed and maintained very carefully. If the existing system is operating better than expected or the necessary changes are too expensive relative to the benefits of a new or modified system, the systems development process can be stopped at this stage.
