Watch the video related to Knowledge
No one can be told what ‘The Knowledge’ is, you have to see it for yourself; and I do urge you to track down this great TV film from 1979 written by the great Jack Rosenthal. Oh ok then, if you want to know what the knowledge is then watch this fantastic scene where the late Nigel Hawthorne playing the evil Mr Burgess, explains all. This isn’t the complete sequence as it’s intercut with monologues from the applicants. I’ve cut it down to get it under ten minutes and preserve Mr Burgess’ speech….
Help answer the question about Knowledge
What knowledge is pure thought able to supply independently of sense perception? Is there any such knowledge?If not, what precisely is the relation between our knowledge and the raw material furnished by sense impressions?

Ask your tutor for help. I am sure they would prefer it if you went to them because you do not understand rather than not attempt it at all.
Sorry it is way above me, but good luck

Someone needs to spend time with the assigned reading homework.
Use your mind. Think. Push those gray cells to communicate and share their thoughts with each other to form new ones. Or choose to be mediocre; the latter course will put you in a very large group.

It is an interesting speciality, sort of a cross between a business degree and a library degree. The upside is that it will prepare you very specifically for a certain niche in an organizational hierarchy. The downside is that it might not give you enough big-picture training to move up that hierarchy. But like most undergraduates degrees what you do with it depends mostly on you, not on the degree.
Good luck.

Before attempting to address the question of knowledge management, it's probably appropriate to develop some perspective regarding this stuff called knowledge, which there seems to be such a desire to manage, really is. Consider this observation made by Neil Fleming
A collection of data is not information.
A collection of information is not knowledge.
A collection of knowledge is not wisdom.
A collection of wisdom is not truth.
The idea is that information, knowledge, and wisdom are more than simply collections. Rather, the whole represents more than the sum of its parts and has a synergy of its own.
in summary the following associations can reasonably be made:
Information relates to description, definition, or perspective (what, who, when, where).
Knowledge comprises strategy, practice, method, or approach (how).
Wisdom embodies principle, insight, moral, or archetype (why).
The value of Knowledge Management relates directly to the effectiveness with which the managed knowledge enables the members of the organization to deal with today's situations and effectively envision and create their future. Without on-demand access to managed knowledge, every situation is addressed based on what the individual or group brings to the situation with them. With on-demand access to managed knowledge, every situation is addressed with the sum total of everything anyone in the organization has ever learned about a situation of a similar nature. Which approach would you perceive would make a more effective organization?

Has anyone got the rest of this? It’s great. And has anyone seen the documentary aired in the 90s about real cab drivers doing the knowledge? There was an inspector who was uncannily like the one in this drama. I should like to see that if anyone has it.

No, it is not needed. Companies survived for hundreds of years without it.
