Work related to Knowledge Management
As a knowledge management professional my objectve is to allow business to improve how knowledge within a company is used and shared thereby enabled.
[A] Activity Based Knowledge Management Tool Design
Presently I am engaged, in designing activity-centric knowledge management tool for educational institute. The sole objective of developing this tool is to make available to the user here teachers both implicit and explicit knowledge. This approach moves away from the traditional repository paradigm as knowledge is dynamic. The motive behinde choosing activity centric approach is to enable teachers to something they find productive while this tool still retains the ability to store and share information.This tool provides the means to perform an activity without dictating what that activity is or its result, thus in way helps to break away from traditional knowledge management tool which does incorporates data feeding activity.
Knlowledge Management in educational institute; does benefits students with posisitve outcomes, improved curriculum and better work process but relies heavily on teacher participation

As far as the tool is concerned I am redesigning Survey Data Visulalization Tool to generate an activity centric Knowledge Management tool, as it allows both teachers and researchers to vzualize and comment on the survey data.
Update⇒Intial surveys are over.[B] Application of Kowledge Management in Organization
Present day apart from forces such as globalization, emphasis on product and service quality, new technology, changing economic and political structure a new set of sophisticated customers has arrived who have changing requirements and expectations. Todays market survival depends upon harnessing these new breeds of customers. Incidently, it is this new force which has forced individuals and organzation to pay heed to knowledge management. For it is knowledge which if utilized and leveraged properly helps organization to be more competitive, innovative and above all make their progress sustainable. Once a quite common strategy of downsizing to enhance proftability got backfired as it resulted in loss of vital knowledge workers example of this can be found at Ford, where new car developers wanted to replicate the success story of the original Taurus team, but no one remembered or even recorded what was so special about this teams effort.

A: No. In Cool It he writes: "global warming is real and man-made. It will have a serious impact on humans and the environment toward the end of this century" (p8).
Work related to environmental and resource economics
A: No. In both his first Danish book in 1998 and the English version of The Skeptical Environmentalist in 2001, Bjorn Lomborg stressed that man-made global warming exists. The introduction to a section on climate change in The Skeptical Environmentalist clearly states, "This chapter accepts the reality of man-made global warming" (p259).

A: Yes. As Bjorn Lomborg argues in 'Cool It', we should focus on the smartest solutions to the problems that the world faces, whether we're dealing with climate change, communicable diseases, malnutrition, agricultural subsidies, or anything else. Lomborg concludes that the smartest approach to global warming is a CO 2 tax comparable with the central or high estimates of CO2 damages. That means an estimate in the range of $2-14 per ton of CO 2, but not the unjustifiably high taxes of $20-40 implicit in Kyoto or the even higher ones ($85) suggested by the Stern report or Gore ($140). He also suggests a ten-fold increase in R&D in non-CO2 -emitting energy technologies like solar, wind, carbon capture, fusion, fission, energy conservation etc..

A: It is true that Fog has been very productive in his claims (http://www.lomborg-errors.dk/), and has been so since the publication of Lomborg's book in 1998 in Danish. However, Lomborg has answered Fog many times in publications, most clearly when Fog edited a book with arguments against Lomborg in 1999. Lomborg published a web-book of 180 pages painstakingly going through each argument in Fog's book, pointing out its unproductive errors and misunderstandings, Lomborg likewise replied to each and every of the first batch of claims from Fog to the DCSD, pointing out how they were incorrect and/or misleading. However, with limited time, Lomborg cannot reply to every new claim from Fog. Moreover, it would seem reasonable that Fog would have used his best counterarguments first, and clearly these have not stood up.

A: No. It all started in 1997, when Bjorn Lomborg read a Wired Magazine interview with economist Julian Simon claiming that the environment - contrary to common understanding - was getting better, not worse. Lomborg thought this had to be incorrect ("right wing, American propaganda"). Looking for new ways to get his students involved, in the fall of 1997 he organized a study group with some of his top students to prove Simon wrong. Much to everyone's surprise, much (though definitely not everything) of what Simon said was right. Thus the group set out to write about their results in op-eds in Denmark's leading newspaper, Politiken. They published four lengthy articles with fifty footnotes in each, sparking a firestorm debate spanning over 400 articles in all the major metropolitan newspapers. The articles led to the publication of a Danish book later that year and to The Skeptical Environmentalist in 2001.
