Nucor Steel-
How ncor Steel stimulate their knowledge creation, how do they make themselves so knowledgable and so innvoative. They integrate what they learn into what they already do. Stock is like a battery, it holds alot of energy and electricity and unless you create a flow of electricity, it is worthless. The stock of knowledge must flow and you have to figure out how to make it flow. Knowledge must be distributed to the right people. How does Nucor steel mobilize and utilize their resources to encourage knowledge use and knowledge sharing.
Expert Systems-
Look at wikipedia, Expert Systems. American express is an example of expert systems to produce business benefit. Other than this article, how can expert systems be used in the real world. An expert system is a problem solving system to present managers and senior expert knowledge so that a less experienced problem solver can make decisions, decision support tool. The entire organization benefits. Example is Partners Healthcare. Reduce number of unneccessary lab test, beds, negative drug effects that could affect patients. A human life is at stake. Expert systems should be available online. Expert systems is a god decision aid for the people who created the knowledge, the senior experts. This way the senior expert can spend his time on more important things while the junior expert works with the expert system that has the knowledge. Expert systems helps benefit users (people who need help, people who help people, senior expert can use expert system as an intelligent agent.), can organizations. Expert systems, if used too much can be bad. For example, the internet. The internet is used to communicate. Pornography on the internet is bad and is the number one selling business online. The expert systems can not capture all of the knowledge of the expert. The system relies on the knowledge based information it is able to get from the expert. All of the expert's knowledge can't be trsnslated into the expert system. Expert system is not as creative as human beings. Sometimes, two or more experts do not agree with each other and this makes this difficult for the expert system knowledge translation.
Web 2.0
Huge area. Read bloggin book, first 8 chapters. Read about ow microsoft changed its public image through blogging. Read how businesses use blogging as a cool advertising/marketing/communicating tool. Blog can be used by small companies to market their services to be used by individual consultants to publicize their expertise. They work because of the users participation and responsive comments. This is a very convenient way for the users to get involved in the content creation. Must be easy, convenient and affordable. This creates something called collective intelligence. Read Web 2.0 article, the Web as a Platform. O'reilly-Wikipedia is a good example of collective intelligence. So is google, the search engine craws through users contents to provide user with information. Look at www.innocentive.com it is in the book too. Functions as tool to match a company and their problem with the solution. If you are a professional and you have a good idea to solve one of the problems listed, if the idea is accepted, you get $5,000. It is called open innovation. This is another example of collective intelligence because it reaches out for knowledge from experts all over the world.

The week of October 6th
I woke up early and finished up my business week article regarding Arelli, a former CEO of Home Depot and his strategic objectives that caused HD stock price to fall during a growing economy. We discussed this article during class and learned that Arelli's was trying to move Home Depot into a wholesale chain rather than retail. Later that evening, I studied for a Hunman Anatomy and Physiology Lab practical. The test was Tuesday morning adn was very hard. Fortunatley, I studied alot for the test and knew most of the answers. The class gets our results back in two weeks. There is no class next Monday or Tuesday because of Fall Break.

Must go out and seek opportunities before you have kids and commitments and obligations. It is good to explore around and venture out a little bit. Don't wait for it to knock on your door. When you retire that will be your fondest memory. Lots of opportunities in the non-english speaking world for people who speak multiple languages.

Chapter 1 in the Yellow book: By Jessica
-Blogging,
microsoft employees blogging to see news about work-blogging gets people to sit down and shut up. Bill Gates says blogging is easy way to communicate. Blogger humanizes the company to become better communicators with the customers and build relationships instead of just being a microsoft employee. Channel 9 is microsofts video blog-used to help customers and help identify problems on the job. Used the first wiki. Go to http://channel9.msdn.com/. Bloggin allows you to get to know people at work.
Dr. Jih's comments-Would we like to use bloggin at work? Yes. Several years ago Ryan was sitting in the back row. A manager from HCA came to talk to Dr. Jih's class. He hired Ryan before he graduated. He hired Ryan because he saw Ryan's webpage. He saw alot of cool things on Ryan's home page. This was the kind of attitude that HCA wanted. You have to know new things about new technologies. It takes a while to learn new stuff and Ryan already had this learned.
Sometimes a blog is alot of nothing like Facebook. It can be a good tool for individuals not just for companies. Bloggs can be used by suppliers, consumers, producers. If your blog has something good in it, you may get an email from a company in Germany wanting to talk to you. Dr. Jih got an email from an email from France who read a publication of Dr. Jih in mobile commerce. You have to start somewhere. The computer can be a pretty cool and good way to present your self. It takes time to think strategically and to invest a little time. It is okay to have a little fun. There is a lot of good and bad. We are smart enough to avoid the bad but there is alot of good. Look at the channel9 video blog. This is the best blog ever. Use blog as online journel. Put your webpage address or blog address on your resume. If what they see impresses them, you will get hired. They will click on your website and this is how you distinguish yourself. Employers want to know about you. You can go as deep as you want on this. One thing that beats this way, is a personal network. A personal network is limited though. They are not mutually exclusive.
Chapter 2: "Everything Never Changes"
"Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do".
-Bloggin for recruits
blogging creates competition between teams. does not change nagging security issue. Millions of microsoft users have lost billions of dollars because of its vulnerability.
