What is the definition of knowledge management?

Improved knowledge management critical issues relating to organizational adaptation, survival, and given the growing competition and discontinuous changes in the business. Essentially, it incorporates organizational processes that seek synergistic combination of data and the capacity of information technologies to process this information and creative and innovative capacity of human beings.

This is the strategic vision for knowledge management that considers the synergy between technological and behavioral issues as a necessity for survival in very difficult business environment. The need for synergy between human and technological capabilities is what distinguishes the ‘old world of business “and” the new world of business. “

With this vision in the old world of business has to do with predictable business environment, characterized by a tendency towards maximizing efficiency. This is the world of competition based on information as a strategic asset and the emphasis of controlling employee behavior toward specific goals. The control and information systems are used to align the organization actors with pre-defined best practices. It assumes that those best practices that preserve the long-term effectiveness.

Moreover, the “new business” is characterized by high levels of uncertainty and the inability to predict the future. The use of information and control systems and compliance with predetermined objectives and best practices do not necessarily lead to long-term organizational competence.

This is the world of “re all”, which challenges the basic assumptions of what is meant by “the accepted way of doing things.” This world needs the ability to understand the problems caused by changing business rules. The focus is not only in finding the right answers but finding the right questions. This world is contrasted with “old world” for its emphasis on “doing the right thing” instead of “doing the right things.”

To raise funds, I find most interesting system called crowdfunding, a new approach to the search of capital required by a project or company is to appeal to large numbers of people for small donations.

This method has been applied since a long time in the field of social and charitable projects or just beginning to gain the attention of entrepreneurs and emerging independent filmmakers and musicians, but also within the scope of entrepreneurs to the web.

This becomes even easier when we are connected in a fairly extensive network within social networks, do not you think? The biggest benefit is that we have no business demanding group which meet on our projects.

You’ll see the importance of business plan is in how you choose to finance the project. How will contribute to solve a problem or satisfy a need? Do not be afraid to innovate and try several options.

Dave Olson, director of marketing and communications HootSuite says that companies have more experience and business models are more consolidated than in the previous bubble 2.0.

Social networks have not only caused a stampede of traders trying to contact as many people. Has also led to the emergence of applications that will enable users to manage and control the various accounts in multiple social networks.

Perhaps the most popular is HootSuite, with a control panel that allows you to manage all accounts and social marketing campaigns from it. Has 1.3 million users worldwide, of which 65,000 are paying members.

Hootsuite now interested in the Spanish market and has set an international development plan for 2011. Saying that in general, investors and companies have a lot more experience than the previous bubble. The tools are more mature business models are more established. And there’s a lot more cooperation between the companies.

To Hootsuite the business is in small social networks focused on specific interests such as hobbies, sports, hobbies or business. You believe that further popularize tools that anyone can be a “medium”, social little stars, they are heard, followed and have some credibility.

1. Gourmet Food

This new business idea is highly recommended for those interested in food. There are several ways you can do this business. For example, Starbucks, the largest coffee chain in the world, began to provide a catalog of gourmet coffees, introducing changes to the form of coffee. An easy way of starting this business is hiring chefs who recently left a cooking school, and develop a menu different from what exists in the city, is different drinks, foods with a different spin, or a unique dish.

2. Foreign affairs (Asia and Middle East)

The second set of new business ideas is occupied by foreign business models. In the case of Latin America, more than copy or imitate American or European business, we must look to Asia and the Middle East. I noticed that there is a greater chance of success when it introduces a common understanding of a foreign country, America. For example, Chinese food is having a boom in Mexico, either as a buffet or fast food. Another example is the Arabic dance, it is fashionable in women’s gym classes.

3. Car Wash with Extra Services

In our list of ideas for new business have the lavaautos, but with a twist. This is good business by itself, since the investment is minimal, and prices can start from $ 50 pesos (5 dollars) for a simple washing. This gives an opportunity to generate income on the other hand, especially while waiting to be ready the car. Some services we could offer are coffee, bar, food, internet, etc.
