    However, I do not dismiss that actual knowledge management truly exists or is being utilized due to the differing understandings of the terminology. In fact, I have seen knowledge management at its best in a first-hand experience. My organization has a strict rule that certain positions must take a mandatory consecutive 5-days off of work each calendar year. While an employee is out of the office for 5 days, work must continue. Processes, procedures and training have been implemented to assist in passing on information relevant to taking over another position during this time. Cross-training helps in this endeavor, but actually performing the duties of another job for 5 days requires knowledge management implementation to achieve success. Due to this, the organization must “impart knowledge and skills that enable employees to be more effective in their positions” (Avtgis, Rancer, & Liberman, 2012, p.

  • The World Bank

    855 Words  | 2 Pages

    New economic institutions such as the World Bank, sought to spread the principles and practices associated with free market economies throughout the world by creating programs and lending money to countries, which allowed the people of that country to practice free market economic principles. The World Bank was originally created to help rebuild Europe from the vast destruction caused by World War Two. During the post WWII period the World Bank lent money to many European countries which has greatly helped them recover from their losses from WWII. For example the World Bank lent $250 million to France in 1947. That loan helped France rebuild its economy by creating jobs and infrastructure which later helped push the countries stagnant economy into the stronger free market economy of today.

    Towards the end of World War Two, the Allies powers, especially Britain and United States, saw the world in need of a new economic system to help prevent future conflicts and prevent trading restrictions between nations. The end of the war was fast approaching and the world would need to rebuild and loans would be needed for this. In 1944, the US would invite forty-four nations to come together and agree upon the creation of international banking entities such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), The World Trade Organization (WTO), and the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (later established as the World Bank). It would be the ladder that world fund loans, first to exclusive nations, then in 1974, the World bank would look to help develop third world nations in need. According to a United Nations report in 1998, over 100 developing nations reported no significant change in their economy, even to the loans from the World Bank and About twenty percent of those nations also saw social indicators decline, a 500 percent increase from the prior decade. The one region not benefiting from any of the International agreements, is Sub Saharan Africa.

    ...bjectives and realize growth. Knowledge Management Knowledge management plays a key role in ensuring that the different functions and activities of a company are synchronized. In Google’s case, the purchase of Motorola (which has turned out not to have been the best business decision) probably could have been avoided if the knowledge within the company was managed and used better. Knowledge enables a company to create, recognize and distribute opportunities. When every employee of a company contributes his or her part of knowledge into the knowledge pool, it is very beneficial as it contributes to the overall success of the company. Proper application of the available knowledge in a company can offer several competitive benefits to both the company and the employees. Application of accurate knowledge at the correct situation helps a company to make good decisions.

    To further understand the World Bank and its goals and policies, I explored their official web page. I was first greeted with their slogan, "Our dream is a world free of poverty". It seems like a noble statement that should be endorsed by the general public. Almost immediately I wondered why then did thousands of people from around the globe gather in Washington D.C. on April 16th and 17th to protest against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. On April 17th, CNN reported "The demonstrators, from dozens of different groups, include environmentalists, anti-free trade lobbyists, and human rights activists". That does cause one to question whether or not the World Bank’s motives are as virtuo...

  • The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank

    1008 Words  | 3 Pages

    The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank were created as a result of the Bretton Woods Conference. Both provide assistance to countries suffering economically. While the IMF is a cooperative institution that aims to create an organized global system of payments and receipts, the World Bank is an institution that aims to help developing countries (Driscoll 1). Both play a part in the economies of struggling nations with the goal of reducing their burden and helping them to survive in the global economic system. Unfortunately, in many cases their practices within developing nations have been seen to create more harm than good. This is possibly because both institutions use a one size fits all approach when aiding countries rather than gaining a deep understanding of each country they are involved in and catering their approach as a result. In this paper I will examine the practices of the IMF and World Bank in developing nations that have led to failure and the effects the policies had on these countries.
