Technology Watch process in context: Information Systems (SI), Economic Intelligence (EI) and Knowledge Management (KM) Sahbi SIDHOM (LORIA & Univ. of Lorraine) email: sahbi.sidhom@loria.fr,
In prologue TW in context of 5 items: Information systems (IS) Economic (or Competitive) intelligence (EI / CI) Communication between IS and CI Knowledge Management (KM) implication Case Studies applied S 2
1. Information system (IS) Concepts, processes, constraints, integrity and management 3
1. Information system Concepts Organized set of resources hardware, software, human, data and processes acquire, treat/process, store and communicate information in the organization Language of communication in the organization Intelligent means/tools automation/ automatic processing (computers) data management ( information and knowledge) (Man-Machine) communication 4
Information system Processes IS performs 4 functions: Collect: polymorphism on data (time, location, abstraction) Preservation : re-use and memory support(s) Transformation : synthesis and interpretation(s) Dissemination : interoperability of data (read, search, retrieve, share) 5
Information system Constraints IS process vs. Human IS (First) automating (human) tasks (Then) processes in technological systems No IS (no desire) communication between actors (no platform) organization and capitalization (data) Valid assumption: manipulate (data) is a process Internally: the company inquires about itself and its environment ( collect) Externally: the company informs its environment on itself ( diffuse) 6
Information system Data integrity and functions Interoperability Specific functional logic Semantic Affiliation logic Sharing: Read / Write Safety locks: hierarchy among actors 7
Information system (data) Management Responsibility Management Resource Management NEED(S) Process Management DATA PROCESS DATA ANSWER(S) Control Management CORRECTION(S) 8
Examples on data (in Bank Management) who is a millionaire in my bank? 1 Head Manager, others customer resources DATA = Nicolas Dupond 1.159.860, 00 Anne Fontaine 2.789.735,08 3 NEED(S) Process Management DATA PROCESS DATA ANSWER(S) 2 Control Management DATA = SELECT * FROM customer WHERE account >= 10 6 CORRECTION(S) 4 DATA = n x10 6 n= {1, 2, 3, } S 9
Information System? A combination of hardware, software, infrastructure and trained personnel organized to facilitate planning, control, coordination, and decision making in an organization. (Google, 2012) 10

Competitive Intelligence? A systematic and ethical program for gathering, analyzing, and managing external information that can affect your company's plans, decisions, and operations. (SCIP, 2012) 15
3. Communication between IS and CIS? Similarities, architecture 16
3. IS and CI? Similarities (structured) Data vs. (unstructured) Information Management of Processes vs. Iterative Processes (implicit) Watch process vs. (explicit) Watch process Management of Responsibilities vs. Management of Actors New needs: central process for communicating IS and CI Granularities: data (D), information (I) and knowledge (K) 17
Communication architecture (data, information & knowledge) IS CIS d: data i: information W(d) W(i) W(k) k: knowledge 1 2 projection(d,k) projection(i,k) KMS S 18
4. Dimensions of the KM problem Issue(s)/Problematic(s) and dimensions : Information, actor, knowledge and decision 19
4. KM to communicate: IS and CI Problematic(s)? data (D), information (I) and knowledge (K) D K I I K D K I & K D Study objects W (D), W (I) and W (K) Communication by processes: IS ( KM ) CI Knowledge Management : to include actors (D, I, K ) relevant information added values strategic choice(s) decision 20
KM to communicate: IS and CI Dimensions? Information (data in the context & content information) Actors (profile information, activities and actions) Knowledge (formal representations and processing) Decision (relevant information, Added Values strategies and action) 21
Information (I) Dimension: Données/statistiques/graphiques/ Ressources/rapports/ Séquences multimédia/images/ F. veille/ Notices biblio./ etc. Content DB Outils GED+V Informations Secondaire & Tertiaires Informations Primaires Outil de veille Informations sur Internet Banque de données Ressources & Archives (ouvertes) Agent intelligent sur Internet 22
Acteur/ User (U) Dimension : Informations U. et préférences Profils cognitifs & Classes acteurs Traits cognitifs 1 Niveaux de compétences (Hiérarchie) Outils FC+WI+DW Intellect, Culture & Compétences etc. 2 3 Réseaux professionnels Groupes d acteurs 23
Connaissance/ Knowledge K (dimension) Effort intellectuel (Homme) Effort de l outil KM (Machine) Profil calculé des acteurs (Machine) Projection de U en K = Filtrage collaboratif (Processus du Web Intelligent) Profil explicite (Homme) Projection de I en K = collecte + analyse/traitement + partage (Processus de veille) I (dimension Information) U (dimension Usager/Acteur) Outils KM Capitalisation (U,K) + (I,K) 24

Knowledge management (KM)? Knowledge Management is the name of a concept in which an enterprise consciously and comprehensively (= process) gathers, organizes, shares, and analyzes its knowledge in terms of resources, documents, and people skills. (Jeff Angus and Jeetu Patel, 1998) 26
