Department of Futures Studies
University of Kerala
P.G. Diploma in Knowledge Management, Admissions 2011-2012
The Department of Futures Studies of the University of Kerala is conducting a P.G. Diploma programme in Knowledge Management. A UGC innovative programme – it is of one year duration. The Department of Futures Studies established by UGC in 1990-91 has won the credit of introducing M.Tech in Technology Management for the first time in India. An interdisciplinary M.Phil in Futures Studies and Ph.D. program are offered by the Department.
The Department has a strong base to carry out interdisciplinary research covering technology forecasting/management, system modeling, mathematical modeling like epidemiological modeling, knowledge management etc. Also in the research arena, the Department is fast becoming an international player in the field of discrete mathematics. The Department has been partnering with University of Maribor, Slovenia and Erasmus University, Netherlands and is having exchange programs for the last seven years.
About the Programme :
There is probably no segment of activity in the world attracting as much attention at present as that of knowledge management. According to Evalueserve, a global market research and Intellectual Property services firm and a pioneer in providing Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) services, KPO is estimated to reach USD 50 billion by 2012, out of which 70% would be outsourced to India. The transition of the world into knowledge economy, the demand for knowledge workers are steadily increasing. Thus the scope of the new course would be to provide training in the knowledge domain so that the trained manpower can straightaway become part and parcel of the companies concerned.
