can be scanned, and which information should be thoughtfully read. Five articles from professional journals provide the learning tools for this assignment. Critical Analysis #1  Water the Grass, Dont Mow, And Wait for Lightning to Strike. Thomas A. Stewart. Fortune, July 24, 2000 v142 i3 p376+ Relevance of Article to Course: This  article concerns the motivation of employees; conservation of work effort and time spent; and the skill of listening. Through listening one can acknowledge the collective, and individual knowledge of  production, or "on line" workers. Those people who are doing the actual work are often the ones who will have the best ideas of how a particular problem or  issue might be solved. Thesis and Execution (analysis of article): The article examines the concept of vernacular knowledge: the need and benefits of sharing information, as well as  the need for protection for those who participate in the concept. Administrative buy-in to such a practice must occur at all levels of management. Strengths and Weaknesses: The  author showed a definite style in his writing as shown by the choice of title. The text is conversational and easy to read Personal Opinion: I feel strongly that acknowledging  the value of grassroots knowledge is a managerial investment. Management may feel more comfortable in hiring outside of the ranks, rather than promoting from within, however this is not  the best ,or often the most economical use of resources, and certainly does not build employee loyalty. However according to Nath (2000), knowledge flows and emerges where it gets  recognized, enriched and valued. Harnessing the potential of knowledge rather than material production is becoming that differentiating factor which separates the developing (countries) from the developed (countries).
