1、Knowledge Management and the Consulting Industry,The Consultant,Once upon a time there was a shepherd tending his sheep at the edge of a country road. A brand new Mustang screeches to a halt next to him. The driver, a young man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerrutti shoes, Oakley glasses, TAG wrist wat

2、ch and a Bhs tie gets out and asks the shepherd, If I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them? The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the sprawling field of sheep and says, Okay. The young man parks the car, connects his notebook and wireless modem, enters a NASA site

3、, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150 page report on his high tech mini printer. He then turns to the shepherd and says, You have exactly 1,586 sheep here. The shepherd answers: Thats correct, you can have your sheep. The you

4、ng man takes one of the animals and puts it in the back of his vehicle. The shepherd looks at him and asks: Now, if I guess your profession, will you pay me back in kind? The young man answers: Sure. The shepherd says, You are a consultant. Exactly! How did you know? asks the young man. Very simple,

5、 answers the shepherd. First, you came here without being called. Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew. Third, you do not understand anything about my business . and Id really like to have my dog back.,What is consulting?,The Collins English Dictionary reveals that to con

6、sult is to make oneself available to give professional advice, especially at scheduled times and for a fee. The term consult originates in the medical profession. There a consultant is a physician who is asked to confirm a diagnosis; or it is a physician (or surgeon) who holds the highest appointmen

The consultant is therefore someone mostly a specialist who is asked to give expert advice or information.,The management consultant,The management consultant is a special breed of consultant.

22、such as intranets and knowledge maps. The purpose of harnessing knowledge is, of course, clear: to turn knowledge into a valuable corporate asset, which will help to increase the competitive advantage of companies.,Knowledge and Intellectual Capital,“The formation of the discourse on intellectual ca

23、pital is predicated upon the assumption that the traditional double-entry bookkeeping system is not able to reflect emerging realities. It is an inadequate tool for measuring the value of corporations whose value, it is claimed, lies mainly in their intangible components.” (Yakhlef and Salzer-Mrling

24、, 2000: 20) Today, it is argued that company assets not only include material artefacts, properties and financial assets, but also employees and organisational knowledges, which explicitly reside in peoples heads and are tacitly embodied. Some knowledge management writers have therefore called for t

25、he development of new systems, that would enable a more adequate valuation of companies assets, and provide tools for exploiting existing tacit and explicit knowledge bases more effectively (see, for example, Brooking, 1996; Edvinsson and Malone, 1998; Lynn, 1998; Nahaphiet and Ghoshal, 1998; Roos e

26、t al., 1998; Stewart, 1998; Zeleny, 1989).,Tacit Knowledge,Know something in theory and practical common sense (Spender, 1996). In many world languages this distinction can be made more explicit, e.g. wissen and kennen, savoir and connatre. know-what and know-how. knowing about something and knowing

27、 through direct experience (King, 1964) or knowledge about and knowledge of acquaintance (James, 1950). While experience is directly related to know-how, know-what is the result of “systematic thought that eliminates the subjective and contextual contingencies of experience” (Spender, 1996: 49). Bla

28、ckler (1995): embrained, embodied, encultured, embedded and encoded. Spender (1996): conscious (explicit individual knowledge), objectified (explicit organisational knowledge), automatic (preconscious individual knowledge) and collective (practical, context-dependent organisational knowledge). “The

29、quintessential knowledge-creation process takes place when tacit knowledge is converted into explicit knowledge. In other words, our hunches, perceptions, mental models, beliefs, and experiences are converted to something that can be communicated and transmitted in formal and systematic language.” (

30、Nonaka and Takeuchi: 1995: 230-231, italics added),The Knowledge Commodity,“The commodity reflects the social characteristics of mens own labour as objective characteristics of the products of labour themselvesIt is nothing but the definite social relation between men themselves which assumes here,

31、for them, the fantastic form of a relation between things.” (Marx, 1976: 164-165),Commodity Fetishism,“The mysterious character of the commodity-form consists therefore simply in the fact that the commodity reflects the social characteristics of mens own labour as objective characteristics of the pr

32、oducts of labour themselves, as the socio-natural properties of these things. Hence it also reflects the social relation of the producers to the sum total of labour as a social relation between objects, a relation which exists apart from and outside the producers. Through this substitution, the prod

33、ucts of labour become commodities, sensuous things which are at the same time supra-sensible or social. In the same way, the impression made by a thing on the optic nerve is perceived not as a subjective excitation of that nerve but as the objective form of a thing outside the eye. In the act of see

34、ing, of course, light is really transmitted from one thing, the external object, to another thing, the eye. It is a physical relation between physical things. As against this, the commodity-form, and the value-relation of the products of labour within which it appears, have absolutely no connection

35、with the physical nature of the commodity and the material dinglich relations arising out of this. It is nothing but the definite social relation between men themselves which assumes here, for them, the fantastic form of a relation between things. In order, therefore, to find an analogy we must take

36、 flight into the misty realm of religion. There the products of the human brain appear as autonomous figures endowed with a life of their own, which enter into relations both with each other and with the human race. So it is in the world of commodities with the products of mens hands. I call this th

37、e fetishism which attaches itself to the products of labour as soon as they are produced as commodities, and is therefore inseparable from the production of commodities.” (Marx, 1976: 165),Knowledge Management and Management Knowledge,Jackson and Carter write: “Management knowledgeconstitutes a rela

38、tively homogeneous canon that claims to be able to improve organizational efficiency (and, thereby, profit, though the link is rarely demonstrable), in particular through the adoption of specific techniques for the use of labour. The general objective of these techniques is to enable units of labour

39、 to be more productive that is, to work harder” (1998: 151) For Jackson and Carter, management knowledge is thus “an ideologically based canon, biased in favour of an essentially capitalist interest. It functions as part of the techno-mediatic hegemony that sustains this dominant discourse” (1998: 1
