PhD thesis - Knowledge Management in Ayurveda

[Guest guest]

Hi!

My wife, who is heading Accenture's Knowledge Management division in

India, has secured admission to the off-campus "PhD in Management"

program, combinedly offered by Birla Institute of Science &

Technology (BITS, Pilani) and S P Jain Institute of Management &

Research (SPJIMR, Mumbai).

For her PhD thesis, she wishes to undertake research on how

Knowledge Management (KM) could help enhance competitiveness of the

Ayurveda industry.

KM, to put it in a nutshell, deals with capture/ creation, packaging

(eg translation from sanskrit), storage (eg databases, portals),

protection (eg copywrites) and effective deployment/ utilization of

knowledge.

I would welcome inputs towards identifying the areas where knowledge

management (KM) opportunities exist in the Ayurveda value chain, so

as to then undertake research on developing a KM solution for one of

them. I would also appreciate any thoughts you could provide on the

best research methodology and sources of information.

Hullo Vinod,

 

Application of KM concepts to Ayurveda is an interest of mine too. May I suggest that we establish one to one email contact and take it from there?

 

Thanks,
