Articulation of Chapter 2 The purpose of this chapter is to conceptually and practically explore the first stage of the knowledge management (KM) virtuous circle described in Chapter 1, which is dedicated to the strategic analysis of an organization's knowledge capital. In section 2.2, we recall the main concepts of this strategic analysis. The practical exploration of strategic knowledge analysis will then be carried out through case studies of Chronopost (section 2.3), Hydro-Québec (section 2.4), the IPEN's Radiopharmacy Center (section 2.5) and Sonatrach (section 2.6). Section 2.7 summarizes the lessons learned from these four case studies on the strategic analysis of an organization's knowledge capital. 2.2. Introduction to the strategic analysis of knowledge capital This section is a summary of the strategic analysis of knowledge capital presented in [ERM 18a]. The knowledge capital strategic analysis approach is an audit of the company's knowledge in order to create a KM action plan to manage this said capital.

In section 1.2, we recall the main concepts of transfer and sharing operations that are sufficient to fully understand the case studies. The practical exploration of knowledge transfer and sharing will then be done through case studies, respectively of a banking company (section 1.3), Sonatrach (section 1.4), Hydro-Québec (section 1.5), analysis of the choice of a knowledge transfer method (section 1.6) and an agricultural field (section 1.7). Section 1.8 summarizes the lessons learned from these five case studies on knowledge transfer and sharing. 1.2. Introduction to knowledge transfer and sharing This paragraph is based on the study written by Thierno Tounkara [TOU 13] (sections 1.2.1 to 1.2.5) and that written by Jean-Louis Ermine [ERM 10].

The recorded data may be highly correlated and are characterized by long tail probability density functions, which are in the most cases very different compared to the classical Rayleigh distribution. In this paper we propose two methods for simulating this type of clutter. The former

Il est basé sur l'utilisation d'un réseau de neurones pour approximer de façon implicite, par apprentissage, les densités de probabilité multidimensionnelles correspondant au fouillis et au signal écho utile. La règle de décision utilisée est équivalente au test du maximum du rapport de vraisemblance généralisé. Des méthodes pour le calcul du seuil de détection et pour assurer son invariance par rapport au rapport S/B et aux paramètres du fouillis sont également présentées.

When a creative idea is generated, its transformation into new knowledge depends on a cycle associating three subsystems and highlighting the link between idea and knowledge: the individual who generated the idea, the knowledge field which acts as a reference repository and the knowledge community who evaluates, selects and validates relevant ideas. Usual innovation dynamic is based on creative problem solving (from problem to solution). This paper covers the reversibility of the link idea-knowledge, that is to say the passage from knowledge to inventive idea. We promote an ab nihilo innovation dynamic (from ideation to innovation). In this paper, we propose an inventive idea generation method which takes advantage of the inventive intellectual Corpus of Knowledge actors. The research is dedicated to the epistemic connection between the structural analysis of knowledge contained in inventive intellectual Corpus and the ideation seen as inventive knowledge generation. Our methodology consists in building a theoretical representative model and in validating it through experimentation. Model's input data represent a cognitive stimulus and model's output data consist of a prospective vision. Cognitive stimulus is based on in-depth analysis of the texture of knowledge structuring the inventive intellectual Corpus. Results include experimental validation of the Knowledge Based Innovation approach. Our contribution consists in showing that ideation, stimulated by the critical analysis of the structure of knowledge lying in the knowledge actor's inventive intellectual Corpus, can be seen as an epistemic mutation, where source, process, results, corpus and knowledge actor can be assimilated as an unique entity. An illustration of possible software implementation is given, derived from existing KM extraction software suite.

Alors que ce dernier fait l'objet de nombreuses études, les modèles des cibles utilisés sont toujours ceux développés par Swerling. Le modèle proposé dans l'article intègre les effets de la haute résolution en distance assurée par le radar et de la visibilité géométrique discontinue, qui apparaît surtout dans le cas des petites cibles.
