What are the four major approaches to Knowledge Management Cycle?
- The Meyer & Zack KM Cycle
- The Bukowitz and William KM Cycle
- The McElroy KM Cycle
- The Wiig KM Cycle
What are the three (3) Information Products of Meyer & Zack KM Cycle?
- Information Products
- Information content
- Information unit
It is a systematic process that involves creating, capturing, refining, storing, distributing, and presenting knowledge within an organization.
Knowledge Management Cycle
Who proposed the Meyer & Zack KM Cycle?
Michael H. Meyer and Michael H. Zack
These are any information sold to internal or external customers, such as databases, news synopsis, or customer profiles. They represent a repository to be stored, retrieved, and manipulated.
Information Products
This refers to the data held in the repository that provides the building blocks for information products. The type of content varies depending on the organization.
Information Content
This is the formally defined atom of information to be stored, retrieved, and manipulated. This concept applies to knowledge as well.
Information Unit
It becomes the foundation for an organization’s family of information and knowledge products, and it is often the first kernel of organizational memory.
Repository
Meyer and Zack KM Cycle is also known as?
Refinery
What are the five (5) stages of Meyer and Zack KM cycle?
- Acquisition
- Refinement
- Storage/ Retrieval
- Distribution
- Presentation/ Use
This phase involves gathering and evaluating current knowledge and information materials, scope, accuracy, relevance, and exclusivity.
Acquisition
This is the process of adding value to knowledge products.
Refinement
Forms a bridge between the upstream stages (acquisition and refinement) that feed the repository and the downstream of physical or digital product generation.
Storage/ Retrieval
Describes how the product is delivered to the end user. It also encompasses the medium of delivery as well as timing, frequency, form, language, etc.
Distribution
In this stage, we evaluate the effectiveness of each of the preceding, value-added steps.
Presentation/ Use
This cycle describe a knowledge management process framework that outlines “how organizations generate, maintain, and deploy a strategically correct stock of knowledge to create value.”
Bukowitz and Williams KM Cycle
What are the two processes under the Bukowitz and Williams KM Cycle?
TACTICAL
STRATEGIC

Get

What are the three strategic stages?
Assess
Build/ Sustain
Divest
Consists of seeking out the information needed to make decisions, solve problems, or innovate.
