KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT RESEARCH GROUP

Welcome to the Knowledge Management Research Group (KMRG)!

The Knowledge Management Research Group is a multidisciplinary research group with members who have diverse backgrounds. Members are not only from different departments at Loughborough University but are also from universities across the world; they are also from a wide range of private, public and third sector organisations. It is an interest in knowledge management that brings these academics, practitioners and research students together.

The group has been formed to cover a wide range of topics related to the generation, acquisition, organisation, storage and retrieval, dissemination and application of knowledge.  As such, topics can range from information systems to organisational culture, from process management to innovation, and from electronic communication to intellectual capital.

The primary aims of KMRG are:

• To develop a dynamic exchange of ideas on knowledge management research and practice
• To disseminate work in progress on current research projects
• To facilitate the formation of partnerships among researchers and the promotion of multi-disciplinary work
• To work with organisations to promote research and to promote good knowledge management practice

The group holds seminars throughout the academic year – please do come along and join in the discussions! The next seminar is on Wednesday April 25th 2012 when Marlize Palmer from the Welsh Government will be joining us. The schedule for 2011-12 can be found here – it will be added to as speakers confirm their availability.

Our research projects are extensive. Examples of recently completed and current projects can be found here – one from Dr Louise Cooke and Dr Tom Jackson and another from Dr Donald Hislop.

We are also fortunate to host Visiting Researchers from time to time – Dr Kamla Ali Al-Busaidi has recently joined us. Kamla’s profile can be found here.

The group is coordinated by Dr Gillian Ragsdell and is administered from the Department of Information Science. If you would like to join the KMRG and be added to the mailing list, then Gill would be pleased to hear from you at g.ragsdell@lboro.ac.uk or on +1509 223082.
