EOA Magazine - Volume 23

Dear Friends,

Heartfelt Greetings!

In this issue, I wish to get back to our discussion on “knowledge” and its relevance to our business. 

Let us start to dig little deeper into understanding what is knowledge and how it improve our image. 

Of course we all know that there cannot be an exact definition on knowledge and it is often relevant to the context it is discussed.  That is, knowledge is defined in the terms of the function it serves. 

Accordingly, “knowledge” may be:
-        “declarative” or “descriptive” in describing what something is;
-        “procedural” or “process-oriented” is describing how something is done;
-        “casual” (reason for the cause) describing why something is happening.  

Of the above definitions, I think our business has more of “declarative” or “descriptive” nature of knowledge and also the “procedural” or “process-oriented” nature. 

Do you agree with the above?  Or do you think the knowledge related to our business can be described differently?  Why not share your thoughts with Email Magazine?  

Why not make a contribution to the email magazine by sharing your thoughts? 

Awaiting to hear from you,

Sincerely,

Venkateswaran
