Arab Knowledge and Management Society (AKMS)

Arab Knowledge and Management Society (AKMS) Jordan

[edit] Description

AKMS was Founded in 29/08/1989 Buffalo- New York City, United States of America, and registered officially in Amman, Jordan on 10/07/1990 under the name “Arab Management Society”. Subsequently, Arab managers and businessmen in the Arab world became aware of the importance and consequences of their role, and recognized the necessity of coordinating their efforts to serve the business communities in their countries. They organized themselves and made valuable contributions, but their efforts fell short of having an association that would bring them all together as individuals and as a society. This organizational unity of business professionals is necessary to enhance the concept of modern management in a comprehensive framework, disseminate the principles of management, and exchange attained expertise.

To emphasize the group’s objective towards a knowledge society that uses modern management and technology to effectively develop the Arab potential, the name of the organization was amended to Arab Knowledge and Management Society (AKMS), and became a comprehensive non-profit Arab national association. AKMS gives the Arab management profession due care and attention, so that it can perform its role efficiently and contribute to the ideal utilization of resources. Its establishment was founded partly in response to calls for change in facing social and economic development in the Arab world.

AKMS aims at utilizing modern management techniques and the latest technology to effectively develop the Arab potential and increase the social and economic output from institutional knowledge resources.

The main challenges to effective implementation of knowledge management solutions in the Arab world are social and cultural in nature. Technical issues are significant, but the key objectives of knowledge management are linked to senior management initiatives in addition to the social responsiveness of organizations and awareness of the general community.

Knowledge management is an idea specifically concerned with the organization’s ability to use implicit and explicit expertise in realizing an economic advantage. AKMS does not endeavor to disseminate useful information only for this purpose, but also for a much wider spectrum, in order to effectively develop the Arab “knowledge society
