Team Project<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
Due in Week 3<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Knowledge Management report is a Communities of Practice (CoP) Evaluation Report.<\/p>\n
The purpose of writing the Communities of Practice Evaluation Report is to provide you with exposure to the social process of becoming a knowledge practitioner. Writing the report will provide the social context of an individual being integrated as a part of a community in pursuit of a common practice. The collective social practice ties individuals together but also helps shape an individual’s view and interpretation of the community, language and culture. <\/p>\n

describe knowledge management trends, cultural impacts, and communities of practice in order to support organizational success;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

========================================================<\/p>\n
Before you begin writing the paper you will read the following requirements that will help you meet the assignment requirements. <\/p>\n
\n
Read the grading rubric for the assignment. Use the grading rubric while completing the assignment to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.<\/li>\n
Third person writing is required. Third person means that there are no words such as \u201cI, me, my, we, or us\u201d (first person writing), nor is there use of \u201cyou or your\u201d (second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: http:\/\/www.quickanddirtytips.com\/education\/grammar\/first-second-and-third-person<\/a>.<\/li>\n
Contractions are not used in business writing, so you are expected NOT to use contractions in writing this assignment. <\/li>\n
You are expected to paraphrase and NOT use direct quotes. You are expected to paraphrase, which can be learned by reviewing this link: https:\/\/writing.wisc.edu\/Handbook\/QPA_paraphrase2.html<\/a>.<\/li>\n
You are responsible for APA only for in-text citations and a reference list. <\/li>\n
The expectation is that you provide a robust use of the course readings to support ideas, reasoning and conclusions. This means that you present an idea and then use the course readings to back up what you presented. Stringing one sentence after another using the course readings does not meet the requirement and does not demonstrate critical thinking. Critical thinking is demonstrated when they \u201cwhy and how\u201d and the \u201cwho and what\u201d are thoroughly explained. <\/li>\n
You may not use books as source material. <\/li>\n
When using a source document, the expectation is that the information is cited and referenced with a page or paragraph number<\/u>. Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
How to Set Up the Paper<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The final product will be between 2-3 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page. You are expected to write clearly and concisely.<\/p>\n
Follow this format. Consider making an outline to ensure the correct headings are in place and to keep you organize the paper.<\/p>\n
