What is Knowledge Re-Use

Chapter 6
Handbook of Research on Implementing Knowledge Management Strategy in the Public Sector
Knowledge re-use refers to the filtering of useful information through the human brain and applying these to job tasks. The objective here is not necessarily the creation of new knowledge but the application of existing knowledge to familiar or unfamiliar situations. In essence, the goal of the knowledge re-use process is to “reuse” knowledge more effectively.

Abstract
The primary aim of this chapter is to operationalize a knowledge assessment framework (KAF) using two exploratory case studies. The development of a KAF is important for the public sector for three reasons. First, the use of knowledge assessment allows firms to pinpoint knowledge gaps. Second, it allows firms to manage knowledge more effectively. Third, it gives public sector organizations a diagnostic tool with which to gauge their knowledge base. The effective management of knowledge can be considered a competency that enables a greater level of service to be extracted from other resources within the organization.
