<p>Knowledge plays a critical role in businesses. It is regarded as a strategic asset and a source of competitive advantage for businesses and entrepreneurship. Furthermore, it creates entrepreneurial opportunities for small and medium scale businesses, which intern fuels the transformation of the economy from a managed economy to an entrepreneurial economy. The research set out to assessing knowledge management practices among entrepreneurs and how to use knowledge for competitive advantage. The qualitative research method was used to collect data from selected entrepreneurs operating on a smaller and medium scale in Ghana. The study revealed that there is a generally high level of familiarity, understanding, and application of knowledge and knowledge management by the entrepreneurs. Aside the tacit and explicit knowledge, there exist other types which include common knowledge, general knowledge, natural knowledge, and spiritual (divine) knowledge. They apply this knowledge in their day-to-day activities</p> Organizational Knowledge Sharing (OKS) Certificate Programs - World Bank + IKI-SEA - Bangkoktag:www.km4dev.org,2017-03-05:2672907:Topic:1049692017-03-05T16:03:45.030ZVincent Ribierehttp://www.km4dev.org/profile/VincentRibiere

<p>Version 2 of Agenda Knowledge for Development (18 January 2017) is now available. </p>
<p>Agenda Knowledge for Development, with its 13 Knowledge Development Goals, is designed to complement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing an integrated approach to knowledge-related challenges that directly influence the achievement of the SDGs. It presents a vision of the societal and economic value of knowledge in which the transformational power of knowledge can be harnessed for the development of inclusive, pluralistic knowledge societies. We consider that knowledge is indispensable to individuals, communities, enterprises, governments and the global community, and is thus an intrinsic part of sustainable development.</p>
<p><br/> The Agenda has been developed by an international coalition of civil society organisations, enterprises and academics, initiated and led by Knowledge Management Austria, which have developed a common vision on how knowledge can contribute to and underpin the ambitions of the SDGs. This current version is work in progress. It was initially based on 50 statements, written by individuals with different societal and regional backgrounds. They have demonstrated the diversity of aspects involved. Any reader of this 2nd edition is invited to contribute by additional statements and comments. Any reflected step forward is expected to improve the design of this Agenda.</p> Senior Consultant - Knowledge Management Study (Global Environment Facility)tag:www.km4dev.org,2016-11-10:2672907:Topic:1022162016-11-10T17:23:48.447ZKseniya Temnenkohttp://www.km4dev.org/profile/KseniyaTemnenko

<p>The objectives of the KM study are to assess the role of the GEF as a knowledge broker and provider, and the relevance and effectiveness of knowledge management and sharing across the GEF partnership, with the overall purpose of identifying whether there are any systemic issues that need to be addressed in planning for GEF-7. This study is being undertaken as an input to the Sixth Overall Performance Study of the GEF (OPS6).</p>

<p>This Special Issue on disability inclusive development will be published in September 2016. The Guest Editors particularly encourage submissions from researchers, practitioners, policymakers and activists from the Global South. They also encourage submissions from all disciplines, as long as they focus on the role of knowledge or knowledge processes in advancing – or inhibiting – disability inclusive development. Submissions are welcome in English, French and Spanish. They can offer ‘peer support’ to authors who are inexperienced writers.</p>
<p>Disability inclusive development is gaining ground as a global priority, as is evident by the explicit mention of persons with disabilities in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN 2015). When conceived in terms of knowledge and knowledge processes, disability inclusive development requires negotiated understanding and synthesis of ‘multiple knowledges’ (Brown 2011) to address multiple forms of disadvantage and discrimination experienced by people with disabilities in low and middle income countries (WHO & World Bank 2011). This Special Issue will explore how this has been achieved or impeded by different stakeholders in different contexts, including but not limited to the inclusion or exclusion of the perspectives of persons with disabilities, their families and other advocates, in the formulation and implementation of development policies and programs. The purpose is to enhance understanding of how we can create conditions for more insightful learning and meaningful action among all stakeholders concerned with disability and development who have different ways of knowing and experiencing the world.</p>
