| description | This paper highlights several benefits of the knowledge management (KM) programme to organisations in various industries. It stresses on the importance of knowledge worker (KW), its competencies and skills in
order to compete in the knowledge based economy.It discusses how Malaysian government is responding to the challenge and the roles of Higher Learning Institutes in developing academic programmes that suit the market needs.There are many measures which have been taken in creating and preparing for the knowledge workers.The Faculty of Information
Management (FIM) for instance has undertaken
proactive action, to offer Master in Knowledge
Management (MKM)programme in which the curriculum has been developed to emphasise on
competence-oriented learning concepts.
It shows how FIM has designed its curriculum model (MKM) based on the strengths of its existing system.To meet the desired educational outcomes, it complements curriculum changes with a pedagogic approach that transforms the role of FIM to facilitators of learning. Curriculum pertaining to the development of the new era knowledge worker will also be discussed. |
