Objective:
The objective is to enable the student to understand what are Knowledge Management (KM)
systems, and the organizational impacts that those systems are having. Furthermore, factors
influencing the success of KM solutions have to be understood, including how these systems
should be aligned to the organization’s business strategy.
Outcomes:
1. Critically evaluate strategies for the capture, organisation, dissemination and application
of knowledge within an organisation
2. Analyse the role of technology in business intelligence
3. Perform an organisational KM audit.
Tasks:
By now, you would be aware about the importance of Knowledge Management (KM) and how
organizations can benefit with well-developed KM systems. You have also seen that it is not
very easy to implement KMS as it depends on three major factors of people, process and
technology and that knowledge for an organization can be acquired from various sources both

Marketing Department, Student Support Services, Library etc. but with prior discussion with
your faculty)
You can meet the desired personnel to gather information with a scheduled appointment.

and should talk about the organization case and/or department selected for the research. This
work proposal should also contain the data gathering method(s) that you would use to collect

November, 2017) through the Moodle option provided to you.

Task 2:
Understand the profile of the organization (business case). Focus on the department identified
and its role in the organization and explore the following:
•
What knowledge is captured and how is it captured? What methods are used to elicit
knowledge from experts? What is the knowledge found in people and artifacts?
•
Where is the knowledge applied/used and how is it shared/disseminated?

Plagiarism policy:
Clarification on Plagiarism Policy
As per MEC policy, any form of violation of academic integrity will invite severe penalty.
Plagiarised documents, in part or in whole, submitted by the students will be subject to this
policy.
COMP 1010 (QP)

KMBI (COMP 1010)-Fall 17-CW2 (Assignment)-All-QP
A. First offence of plagiarism
a. A student will be allowed to re-submit the assignment once, within a maximum period of one
week. However, a penalty of deduction of 25% of the marks obtained for the resubmitted work
will be imposed.
b. Mark deduction: When the work is resubmitted, the marking will be undertaken according to
the marking criteria. In compliance with this policy, the 25% deduction is then made on the
marks obtained. For example, in an assessment that carries a maximum of 50 marks, suppose a
student were to obtain 30 marks for the resubmitted work, the final marks for that assessment
will be 22.5 (after deducting 25% of the marks actually obtained for the resubmitted work).
c. Period of resubmission: The student will have to resubmit the work one week from the date he
or she is advised to resubmit. For example, if the formal advice to resubmit was communicated
to the student on a Sunday (latest by 5 pm), the student will have to resubmit the work latest by
next Sunday 5 pm.
d. If the re-submitted work is also detected to be plagiarized, then the work will be awarded a
zero.
e. Resubmission of the work beyond the maximum period of one week will not be accepted and
the work will be awarded a zero.
B. Any further offence of plagiarism
a. If any student is again caught in an act of plagiarism during his/her course of study (either in
the same module, same semester or in any other semester), the student will directly be awarded
zero for the work in which plagiarism is detected. In such cases, the student will not be allowed
to re-submit the work.
2 C. Guidelines
COMP 1010 (QP)
Page 5 of 9
KMBI (COMP 1010)-Fall 17-CW2 (Assignment)-All-QP
a. Type 1: In case plagiarism is detected in any component or part submission (submitted at
different times) of one assessment (assignment), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the
whole assessment (assignment), even if only the component or part submission alone needs to be
resubmitted.
b. Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in a group assessment, all students of the group will be
considered as having committed an act of plagiarism irrespective of whether plagiarism is on
account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all
students.
c. Type 3: Combination of Type 1 and Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in any component
or part submission (submitted at different times) of a group assessment (assignment), the
deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole assessment (assignment), even if only the
component or part submission alone needs to be resubmitted. All students of the group would be
considered as having committed an act of plagiarism irrespective of whether plagiarism is on
account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all the
students of the group.
d. Type 4: Variation of Type 1 and Type 2: In cases where the assessment consists of
components or part submissions that could be a group assessment component (e.g. group
assignment) and an individual assessment component (e.g. individual reflection), the following
will be applicable:
1. If plagiarism is detected in the group assessment component, all students of the group will be
considered as having committed an act of plagiarism, irrespective of whether plagiarism is on
account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all
students of the group. In such cases the group assessment component will be resubmitted as per
the policy.

KMBI (COMP 1010)-Fall 17-CW2 (Assignment)-All-QP
2. If plagiarism is detected in the individual assessment component, the individual assessment
component will be resubmitted as per the policy. The policy will then be applied to that student
alone.
3. In both cases (a) and/or (b), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole
assessment (assignment).
3 D. Amount of similar material
a. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from all sources put together
should not exceed 30% (including direct quotations).
b. The total amount of quoted material (direct quotations) in any form of student work from all
sources put together should not exceed 10%.
c. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from a single source should
not exceed 7 percent. However, cases having a similarity of less than 7 percent in such cases may
still be investigated by the faculty depending on the seriousness of the case.
d. If faculty member find enough merit in the case of a student work with a similarity (with a
single source) of more than 7 percent as not a case of plagiarism, the faculty member should
provide detailed comments/remarks to justify the case.
Late Submission policy:
Penalty for late submission – 5% of the maximum mark specified for the assessment will be
deducted for each working day.
Assessment documents submitted beyond a period of one week after the last date of submission
will not be accepted and will be marked as zero for that assessment.
