How Indian Firms Convert Intellectual Property Into Intellectual Profit
More open-minded Indian firms, on the other hand, are redefining IP as “intellectual partnering.” Rather than reinvent the technology wheel in-house, Indian CIOs and CTOs rely on external providers to address most of their firms’ innovation needs, through IP licensing agreements. Take TCS, India’s largest IT service provider. TCS operates the oldest and largest software R&D lab in Asia. Yet, under the visionary leadership of its CTO Ananth Krishnan, TCS is replacing its closed R&D approach with a networked C&D (Connect & Develop) model. As part of its intellectual partnering strategy, TCS now sources more IP from an external innovation network made up of academic labs, startups, and large software vendors.

Importance of Human Resources: The Role of HRM in Knowledge Management
There are several roles that can be played by HR in developing knowledge management system.
-
HR should help the organization articulate the purpose of the knowledge management system.
-
as a knowledge facilitator, HRM must ensure alignment among an organization’s mission, statement of ethics, and policies
-
HRM should also create the “ultimate employee experience.” That is, by transforming tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge through education, organizations must build employee skills, competencies, and careers, creating “bench strength.”
-
, HRM must integrate effective knowledge sharing and usage into daily life.
-
HRM must relax controls and allow (even encourage) behaviors that, in the clockwork world of industrial efficiency, never would have been tolerated. For example, conversations at the water cooler were viewed in the past as unproductive uses of employee time
-
HRM must take a strategic approach to helping firms manage email, instant messenger, internet surfing, and similar uses of technology.
-
HRM must champion the low-tech solutions to knowledge management. Although it should not ignore the high-tech knowledge management tools, HRM contains the expertise to develop low-tech knowledge management strategies

Mais imaginons que nous sommes dans un monde changeant, où l’incertitude sur le futur est plus importante que les certitudes (un monde imaginaire, en sorte), et que, peut être, les objectifs sont devenus complètement rigides et inadéquats, qu’il soit extrêmement urgent d’imaginer et de se préparer à d’autres futurs, avec des indicateurs complètement différents (oui, je sais c’est de la science fiction), qui va s’en apercevoir ? Qui va se dire que l’entreprise efficace ne fonctionne plus par la hiérarchie, mais en réseaux et en projets ?
