LIFE CYCLE OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

My point of view in life cycle can be defined as how the knowledge is used in the organisation.The life cycle consists of five steps as follows(http://www.knowledgeboard.com/lib/3562):

(a) CREATING:
This is the initial stage of the life cycle . In my point of view this can be done by individual or group, this can be proceed by both explicit or tacit knowledge. Explicit knowledge means the formal language that can be accessed easily by the database for the future use.

(b) SHARING:
This is the second stage, It deals with the sharing of knowledge in the organisation through two types of communication namely social or technical infrastructure.

(c) STRUCTURING:
This is th e third stage , It deals with the mapping of location where to start, where to store and how to retrieve information.

(d) USING:

This is the fourth stage it deals with the work process, designing and marketing the process.

(e) AUDITING

This is the final stage, It clearly tells about the amount of knowledge used to process the information in the organisation.
