EmailWhat Knowledge Management Mean to ECATU
In our context, Knowledge Management is a concept in which ECATU consciously and comprehensively gathers, organizes, shares, and analyzes its knowledge to maximize its development, competitiveness and effectiveness.
ECATUs Information Services Focuses on:
- Knowledge Management Implementation

ECATU capitalises on the effect of Knowledge management to spark innovation. Various knowledge management activities were conducted in the year 2009/10.
