Thomas Stewart wrote one of the best books on KM, titled "Intellectual Capital."\n\nBasically, KM is the discipline whereby a company proactively and explicitly manages its knowledge and intellectual capital in 3 categories:\n\n1. Human capital (employee knowledge, education, experience, skills, etc.)\n\n2. Structural capital (procedures, methods, documentation, patents, etc.)\n\n3. Customer capital (information and insights about customers, their past purchases, their demographics, etc.)\n\nKM currently has a bad name because it was thought that technology would solve knowledge problems. This is like saying that a library will help you find all the answers you need.\n\nHowever, KM is still useful IF we focus more on the "knowledge" part of KM, and on how people actually learn in a corporate setting.\n\nThe best example of a KM system is Yahoo! Answers (which you and I are using). The system is simple, it keeps track of who's contributing, it gives you a score to encourage you (and make you look good in front of friends and colleagues!), etc.\n\nYahoo! Answers is a rare example of a good KM system. Training is not even needed, since it's so easy to use!\n\nHope the above helps! :-)

That is a tuff question to answer in just a couple of paragraphs. I will attempt a brief answer but it will probably be not to good.\n\nBefore MIS, organizations had rooms full of people with green eye shades taking care of the books of the company. Companies were a LOT smaller then. Today MIS has given companies the ability to manage much larger organizations then would have been possible without MIS. They just would not have a clue. \n\n MIS allows nearly instantaneous knowlege of what is selling and what is not selling, levels of inventory, production efficiencies, what needs to be ordered and what does not need to be ordered, what bills need to be paid and what bills can be paid next week, how much money needs to be borrowed from the bank to meet tomarrows expenses, what companies and people are behind in their payments, whether the company is making money on the widgets they are selling or loosing money. \n\nThere just would not be the multi-billion dollar corporations of today without MIS.

Never used it myself, but I have seen people use it to calculate potential turning points for the day you are about to trade. \nBecause so many traders follow pivot points you will often find that the market reacts at these levels. \n\nTake a look here for a better explanation:\nhttp://www.investopedia.com/articles/technical/04/041404.asp

Maybe look into GASB34.  It's an accounting standard for government.  It is causing a lot of uproar because of what it means for asset management.  Hot topic right now.

CAPM is basically a two factor model - considering only the risk free interest rate and beta. The risk free rate is the return investor will get for holding the security over a period of time, while beta will determine the return for taking the risk.\nFor more clarity refer to this link: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capm.asp\nAPT on the other hand is not limited to the number of factors. You can build in as many factors in the model you want. See for example, Fama and French Three Factor Model.

Capital Market Products\nAs financial institutions, particularly depository institutions, have faced increased competition and reduced profits in their traditional markets, many have turned to capital market products as an alternative income source. Our lawyers can be very helpful to financial services clients in this important area because we know the market and the legal issues involved in the development and sale of capital market products. \n\n\nSome of the capital market products we have helped financial institutions develop, document and market are: \n\nLoan Sales.  We have had extensive experience in representing the syndications departments of domestic and foreign banks, including the negotiation and documentation of assignment and participation agreements by buyers and sellers for both the sales and trading of par and distressed debt. We also understand what a bank or thrift embarking on a loan sale program must do to its loan documentation to make it "saleable." \nSwaps, Caps, Collars, etc.  We have assisted major banks in both pre-ISDA and ISDA documentation of these products so we know the issues and pressure points. We are also familiar with commodity swaps. \nSecuritizations.  We have represented financial institutions in the securitization of virtually every asset imaginable, from accounts receivable and auto loans to HLTs and non-performing assets. \nPublic Finance.  We have been a leading firm active in public finance transactions nationwide for more than 100 years. We serve as bond counsel, underwriter's counsel, issuer's counsel, indenture trustee's counsel, credit enhancer's counsel, special disclosure counsel, and special tax counsel in a wide variety of public finance transactions for state and local governments, authorities, and non-profit organizations such as health care and educational institutions.
