Well, it is official! Yesterday in the snail mail I received a thick package which contained the Journal Of Knowledge Management (JKM), Vol 12, No. 2 2008. This most prestigious journal, in the KM field holds many "current" research articles by people from around the world. And guess what? I'm in it! Yaaaay me! Need online proof? Check this out!
I wrote about this going to happen back in 360 in my post entitled, Naru Hodo, March 23, 2007, but it happened sooner than I had anticipated. I was thinking "Volume 12" meant December 2008, but I guess not. I still haven't figured out how this journal works its vol, no. system, but that's OK because this is the only one I'm probably ever going to get unless someone finds me in here and wants me to study, research, or work on this stuff for them! Until that time, I'll continue flogging titanium and buffs to China in an ever-increasingly difficult time, to pay the bills... or until the time for a greater change comes upon me.
I know that a good majority of you probably aren't interested in the meat and bones of what I wrote, and that's perfectly OK. It was, in fact, one of my final papers in my MBA studies. My professor, Dr. Wang liked it so much that he recommended I submit it to this journal. And after some editing to fit into their style, it was accepted as "having value to the industry in terms of better understanding the field of Knowledge Management."
Even if you don't read the article, take a look at the abstract. It should give you insight into what I was working on. Download the PDF and just scroll through to get a feel for how this journal publishes. The colour scheme is quite nice, and I do like the layout a fair bit.
It's here, it's published, and I hope that those who get this journal will find some nuggets of gold in what I wrote. If asked how I came to my conclusions, I can only say that I took the theory I learned, mixed it into the research that was out there, and then added a good dose of "Life-Systems Engineering Science" that I have learned from Brian Peskin and my best friend Khanada (of YES Supplements and PEO (formerly called EFA) fame) to come up with something that I believe would really work IN THE REAL WORLD.
Have a great day!
I love you!
Cam
I'll come back to this.. but I just want you to know... I'm so proud of you! I love you!

Our Cammy is famous! I always knew you were a smarty pants! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAccording to Stefnee, that's "Knowitallsmartypants"... or was it "Smartypantsknowitall"... waaay back when she thought I was just "high on a horse". I guess that must have been back when they made glue out of horses and we were sniffing.

ReplyDeleteThats very impressive, congratulations!
Awesome, YOU!
ReplyDeleteCourse, we always knew what a fantastic writer yu were.
I'm just glad that a wider and wider public is gettin to know it.
You rock, Mou!
xo xo xo
Congrats, Cam. Recognition for hard work is a beautiful thing. So is tangible evidence.
ReplyDeleteI used to feel like that when I was standing in the grocery line. I'd snag a Lady's Home Journal/Family Circle/Woman's Day/whatever and see my stuff in their publications.
I'd applaud, but the sound of one hand clapping isn't loud enough. How about a WHOOP WHOOP instead?
WHOOP WHOOP!
Robin - Would that be One Cough Whooping?
ReplyDeleteThanks gang, I appreciate it!
I love you!
Fuckin' A, bro!
ReplyDelete(And just to try and keep up with you I plan to write something for "The Journal of Knowledge Mis-Management.")
Seriously though, I'm proud of you, and I really think you should go on and do your doctorate. You're already smarter and better at teaching than most of those cretins we had at MBA school; you just need the piece of paper.
Talk about being smart.... this paper... I submitted three times in our MBA program to different professors... and two of them were final project papers. But you already knew that. Why re-invent the wheel, right? I tell you, bro, they should hire you and I for this kind of real work. I am confident we could cut their costs the RIGHT way, without fucking over the workers, whether they be blue, white, or chartreuse.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I had a visit from a mountain monkey yesterday during the rain (I gave him some cashews and a towel to dryoff). He was looking for a pale-skinned, redheaded male in his late thirties, early forties, with an easy to understand accent, a good sense of humour, and a strong will to beat the shit out of the locals who dump non-recyclable trash into the mountains (stuff like refrigerators, tires, bicycles, old trucks, house windows, aluminum doors... things like that). One of the prerequisites was that the applicant needed to be able to grow thick facial hair, and communicate with the local monkey clans in a similar high-level language.
Know anybody interested?
Oh do I ever!
ReplyDeleteCute Canucks!
ReplyDeleteI am just getting around here. Congrats Cam...and yes, I read the article too. You deserve to be proud for this accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteHey!!! Congratulations! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThe abstract sounds really really interesting Cam- I wish the head of the crazy company I work for would read this article and implement, something- anything!!
Felicidades!
I wonder if anybody downloaded the article I attached... somehow methinks not...
ReplyDeleteI admit no DL here! I DID read the abstract- give a gurl some credit lol!
