“…These technologies and others will become imbedded in many devices and networks that facilitate instantaneous knowledge sharing and dynamic content delivery. Caldwell et al (2002) predicted a proliferation of ''smart'' technologies for mobile and wireless to include virtual team collaboration, media CM, voice portals, geospatial information management and personal KM through a wide-range of smart mobile devices.…”

Purpose -Aims to impart new insights into the role of information technology (IT) in knowledge extraction, capture, distribution and personalization. The paper seeks to pin-point the strengths and weaknesses of IT in the domain of knowledge management (KM) and to explain why the technology promise remains unfulfilled, as seen by many KM practitioners.Design/methodology/approach -The discussion in this paper is fundamentally based on Stankosky's four KM pillars conceptual framework. Within this framework the authors attempted to shed some light on the IT role and the hidden reasons that make knowledge prominently unreachable via IT.Findings -IT assimilation and representation of knowledge intangibility, dynamism, experience and other humanistic cognitive dimensions remain debatable. The current technology is immature to resolve such problems. For IT to be effective for KM it must shred its bivalent logic and instead learn to operate within an authentic continuum.Originality/value -Knowledge managers need to understand that a KM initiative that considers IT as a Utopian panacea will fail. Equally, the KM initiative that undervalues IT will follow suit. Owing to IT immaturity in the area of cognitive behavior, the situation is still perplexing. This elusiveness imposes some obstacles to sufficiently represent the context of tacit knowledge. Hence, codifying knowledge with the poser of the existing IT and without the support from socio-cultural inputs, will result in de-contextualization, i.e. ''knowledge dilution.'' Hence, special considerations should be given to applications that offer some behavioral context and human cognitive dimensions.

“…However, there was one important difference in the selection practices of each state. In Victoria where local management went much further (Caldwell and Hayward, 1997), selection was and is managed entirely at the school site. In South Australia, which is beset by problems related to distance, there was less devolution of appointments, and principal selection in particular, was and is managed by the District Director (formerly known as Superintendent).…”

A B S T R A C TResearchers investigating the decline of potential applicants for principalships have demonstrated that teachers perceive there to be a significant problem in current selection procedures. This article reports an investigation in two Australian states into principal selection. Drawing on a corpus of interviews, two case studies and administrative guidelines, we highlight five key problems in the interview process:(1) the dependence of selection panels on a written application; (2) the dilemma of experience versus potential; (3) the covert rule about the appointment of preferred applicants; (4) the quandary of panel competency; and (5) the evidence of inconsistency of decisions. We argue that the selection process amounts to a reproductive technology which, in the quest for certainty and safety, results in particular kinds of people being successful. This amounts we suggest, whether the selection process is managed by progressive or conservative personnel, to a form of homosociability the tendency to select people just like oneself.

“…This has been established by the Cosmological observations (Perlmutter et al 1999;Riess et al 1998;Spergel et al 2003). Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy (Caldwell 2002;Huange et al 2006) and large scale structure strongly indicate that dark energy dominates the present universe, causing the cosmic acceleration. Dark energy and cosmic acceleration are, still, the mysteries of modern cosmology.…”

In this paper, we have investigated Bianchi Type-III Dark Energy Model in f(R,T) theory of gravity proposed by Harko et al. (Phys. Rev. D84 : 024020, 2011). To find a determinate solution of the field equations we have used (i) the fact that scalar expansion of the space-time is proportional to the shear scalar and (ii) a variable deceleration parameter given by Mishra et al. (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 52: 2546, 2013). Physical and kinematical properties of the model are also discussed. It is observed that our model is in agreement with the recent cosmological observations.
