Knol Author Recruitment - Double the Number of Knol Authors
A public online publishing platform like knol requires large number of authors who write on diverse areas and topics. Existing authors have to participate in encouraging their intellectual neighbors to write for knol. If each author can recruit one author before 30th June 2009, the author base can double.

My Knol Projects
1. Management Knowledge Revision Knols
2. Industrial Engineering - An Important Human Engineering Discipline
I write on Industrial Engineering . My post graduation is in Industrial engineering.
I strongly believe that industrial engineering is a very useful discipline contributing to the improvement in productivity of each and every person and thus to his material well-being, comfort, safety and health. Industrial engineering is to be treated as one of the functional areas of management like marketing or finance. Like finance, whose activities spread into each and every department of an organization, industrial engineering also has application in the proceses and systems used in every function and engineers the work of persons employed in every department. Industrial engineering has enterprisewide responsibility.
According to me industrial engineering has two core areas:
1. Human Effort Engineering
2. Systems Efficiency Engineering
Industrial engineers aspire to be systems engineers and they have reason to aspire for it as they already have specific roles in systems design and operation and they can take up leadership of systems design process. Hence industrial engineering programs have to teach systems engineering and emphasize the management dimension of systems design. According to me the management component of industrial engineering course must concentrate on management of industrial engineering department and function, systems design management and management of objectives of industrial engineering like productivity, operator comfort, safety, health and income, and operator related quality etc.
I collected my knols in the area of industrial engineering in the knol:
Industrial Engineering - Knols of Narayana Rao K V S S
3. Investment Management
My doctoral work is on return on equity shares. My present teaching interests are in the areas Security analysis, mergers and acquisitions, Issue of securities (Investment banking) and Management of securities market intermediaries.
Due to various reasons (Professional necessity) and interest, I studied and taught number of subjects in Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Management and I plan to write about some of the issues in these subjects over a period of time.
I write on many subjects from Accounting to Zoology, Both accounting and zoology are important subjects for industrial engineers. While, I am writing on many subjects, my special expertise at post-doctoral level is in long term investment methods and strategies. In rest of the subjects, I have academic qualifications as I took number of these subjects in my undergraduate, post graduate and doctoral courses. I write revision articles in these subjects based on some standard text books. These articles are useful to me for revising and updating my knowledge base and I believe, there are also useful to many for their revising and updating the knowledge in these subjects. Every knowledge worker needs to revise and update his knowledge. I hope my knols facilitate this activity to some extent.
My first knol was on Focus of Industrial Engineering. My contention is that focus of Industrial Engineering is efficiency - human efficiency and system efficiency. Functional design of systems is the job of other specialists and industrial engineers make the systems efficient both at the design stage as well as later as the system is in operation. The role of industrial engineers in systems design can be that way two fold - system efficiency design and coordinating the system design process.
Current status of my Knol Projects
28.3.2010
Posted 4000 knols.
Posted 150 knol books. For these knol books around 1500 chapters are to be created.
(17th October 2010)
I posted more than 2960 knols so far.
The main theme of my knol portfolio is revision articles.
My aim is to provide revision or review articles for graduates of industrial engineering and management so that they can refresh their knowledge periodically. My effort of writing articles in all the subjects of the curriculum is to demonstrate that by appropriate committed effort, we can retain our learning of multiple subjects over a long period of time.
Only when we retain a large number of principles and recollect them, we take decisions properly when the occasion comes. According to me we are all incurring a huge amount of cost of ignorance.
My advocacy is that knowledge workers have to make special efforts to retain, revise, refresh and update their knowledge.
I also made a directory of interesting knols and there are around 250 sub-directories supporting the main directory.

Hi Mr. Rao
I am Emma from Coreventus Malaysia. My company is a business intelligence provider, where we provide conferences and training. In July 2010, we will organize a conference on Cost Reduction in Manufacturing. One of the key areas of the conference is on the execution of systems such as TPM, Lean Manufacturing and etc to help reduce cost and maximize productivity. If you are interested, do you mind sending me your e-mail address and contact number, so that i can send your the conference draft and my company profile. Your co-operation is highly appreciated.

Thank you for the information.
About Hindi
Dear Narayan Rao jias I was going through the Hindi works you suggested, I wanted to point out a few things
1. Most of the Hindi articles there use a very defective Hindi. Some of them simply look like machine translations. Something should urgently be done for that.
2. I have a group of 450 people who will be collaborating with me in Hindi writing on Knol which will be launched this month. The 450 are in a google group which is promoted by http://www.Sarathi.info

Dear Doctor
What you had written is right. Same thing is happening in English articles written by persons from various countries where English is not the main language.
In official language workshop they are encouraging people to write in Hindi without worrying too much about the correctness. That is to encourage people to start.
I think practically many of these knols will go to dustbin as they will not get many page views.
I am very happy to know that 450 people will be coming onto knol. We need more and more knol authors to make knol viable and this is a very big number. I congratulate you on the achievement.
With best regards

Invitation
Good Morning,It appears we understand the vital need for wisdom in our current civilization.
http://knol.google.com/k/douglas-mckee/the-messenger-s-list/3q0xdomx5udy4/1#
I have been studying thinking as a set data processing processes for a while now and believe that perspective may yield some very useful tools and techniques to help others implement the use of wisdom in their lives.
The human brain is indeed an incredible organ but its rightful place is as our slave, not our master.
We each have a unique data set of information, experiences, and emotions. It is HOW we use our data that decides everything in our lives.
From the perspective of data handling, we need new definitions to expand and explain old concepts in ways that are understandable and applicable.
http://knol.google.com/k/douglas-mckee/the-general-theory-of-personality/3q0xdomx5udy4/4#
These examples are provided to offer my only available credentials.
I just published a 'knol," titled "Getting Wisdom"
My agenda is to open it to those who recognize the nature and value inherent is gaining and using Wisdom as an additional place to place links and discuss those articles and the processes in gaining and applying wisdom.
Hopefully it will attract those who not only have studied the wise but also are motivated to help others seeking wisdom.
If you are interested, the knol address is:

Hello professor
Thank you very much for asking about my studies, indeed they are going well, I am writing a lot of papers and I will adapt them for knol in summer, when I have more time. In the meantime, I check the bulletin board and see the new improvements of Knol regularly so I try to be updated!Best regards, I admire your work

Prof. Rao,Please accept my congratulations for reaching this milestone in advance and in winning the silver medal in Best knol of the month contest for Stock Market Poems. Your publishing of student course work was a historic first as many of your other suggestions in taking new directions and improvements.
Krishan Maggon - 02 Apr 2009
Thank you for the nice words.
Stock market poems happened by an accident. Dr. Subhash Sharma read two of his poems and gave his book of poems in a conference. That immediately prompted me to write something. And as fellow knol authors said they were good, I could approach my colleagues in the institute to go through them. Because they liked them, comments followed and also controversy followed.
I hope the best knol competition attracts more knol authors to nominate their knols and thereby increase the list of good knols. I request you to nominate one of your recent knols for the competition. You many nominate others knols. But each author must have at least one self knol to nominate every month if he is active. The competition must bring out a big list of knols which authors themselves feel are worthy of special attention.
I am waiting for reactions from one or two more knol authors on research conference proposal.

Your monitoring is useful. But I think many good authors are yet to start writing on the platform. Once they enter the rankings may change entirely. Also some authors may learn what works on knol and increase their output accordingly.
The other interesting measure could the page views per week of top 100 authors at the present. This number can be changed to 200 authors, etc. etc in future. The increase in popularity of Knol will be indicated by such a measure.

Dear Professor Narayana Rao,thank you for inviting me to your California project. This is about to prompt me to create a "California in poetry" knol (or rather a series of knols). When it's somewhat developed, you may consider it for inclusion in your (our?) California list of knols.
Best regards,

Best Knol for March 2009 Prof Rao 1000th knol (a direct link is required)
Andreas,
Thanks for the information and nominating our knols as winners.
I suggest that the knol community join me in congratulating Prof Rao in reaching a significant step and milestone by becoming the first author to write over 1000 knols. I wish to nominate his 1000th knol as the best knol of the month March 2009 (to be selected by Prof Rao). This is good for the entire knol community.

Professor Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.
Dear Professor Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.I respectfully think that it is time for you to re-assess the direction that you are taking with your contribution to the Knol project. It is obvious from your hundreds of Knols that you are an avid supporter of the project but unfortunately the majority of these posts don't conform with the Knol project's 'Best writing practice' standard.
http://knol.google.com/k/knol-help/best-practices-writing-good-knols/uPUoECxfx/sd8yvy#
Because of this you have not been recognized in the Knol Author's Top 800 award. Other members of the Knol Author's foundation have been recognized - The Judge (19th best author position), Kalle (227), Andreas (255), Jesus (392) and Sajid (678) but your work has not been acknowledged.
As a key leader in the Knol Author Foundation, I believe it is incumbent upon you to set the example for all Knol authors and so I would think it better for both you and the project, that you refocus your extensive energy on making your existing Knols better, rather than continue to post work that does not meet the Knol 'Best Practice' standard. Professor, I think that now is the time for all us foundation authors, to refocus on quality - not just quantity.

I understand fully that to-date your focus has been more on setting up the structure or skeleton for future work (which is great), but I believe that the Knol project now needs those structures filled with quality content and formatted in a way that makes for a great user experience. Thank you for being so understanding of my advice.

Dear Baskerville
I thank you for the comment. Yesterday only I read your knol on writing knols in the top 10 ranks. I have set up a specific direction for my knol project. Management knowledge revision. I want to develop a community of authors who get involved in this effort from my contacts around me. It will take some time as it is a new activity. I also added two more themes as my knol projects. Branches of knowledge and Management Concepts directory. Once again the scope is vast and work progresses at a slow rate and it has to be done in stages.
But the information you gave is very important piece that I have to halt and reflect upon my enthusiasm.
Thank you once again
With best regards

I'll post some thoughts today and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.Simon Harris

Lets spread your immense expertise to the mind sciences. Lets expand the insights of engineering to the life sciences.
Dear Prof. Rao:The breath and vision of your knols is amazing. The most creative and cutting edge science today is engineering. Look at biology, look at chemistry, look at medicine their top catergory is now bio-engineering,
chemical engineering, the latest madical devices are all marvels of cutting edge engineering. Why not expand your field of Management Theory and Practise to my field of emotional intelligence education and maybe explore all other fields where your expertise can transfer the benifits of your insights?
Here I am talking about wisdom in different ways and you saying so beautifully engineering is efficiency - human efficiency! You gave me the idea that wisdom can also be defined as a tool for mastering human efficiency. I thought of writing a knol on wisdom as human efficiency. But I think that this honor belongs to you. Please consider writing a knol on 'Wisdom as Human Efficiency.' Lets start some new fields. Lets start using insights in engineering management and apply them to the mind sciences. Lets upgrade all the mind sciences to engineering sciences(alot of this has already been done).
Kind regards

Good afternoon from Holland
Thank you for your intrest and motivation. Please write a comment on Knol Debates.Karin Kruijff
Karin Kruijff - 20 Oct 2008
Thank you Ms. Karin Kruijff.
You message made me think. I posted a suggestion.
I suggested that the debate should ask authors to write knols on the issue and the debate page must have a provision to show the link to such knols written in response to the opening knol of the debate.
There should be a moderator who goes through the comments and knols written on the debate topic and writes a summary knol. Such a summary knol could be forwarded to concerned decision makers as well as press for appropriate coverage. I think the knol community will get excited with such a format. I already went and made request to my colleague who is a faculty in environment management to write a comment on subsidies to alternative energy projects.
Thank you once again for providing a direction to my thinking. I came out with the idea of mailstorming. Now we have to say knolstorming. One knol leads to another knol that embodies the knowledge gained by the author so far but was consolidated into a knol because of another knol that triggers the thought or points out the need for such a knol.

Ther is nothing fuzzy about educating the brain to the level where it sprouts wisdom.
Dear Prof. Rao:You have a very well grounded and well deserved knack for presenting
relevant, timely and complex ideas in a simple and easy to understand
format. I would like you to consider my original ideas on emotional
intelligence and wisdom and try to integrate them
in your university curriculum. Please share my work in your circle.
Also if you need anything from New York please let me know.
Kind regards

Please review my latest knol:
The benefits of knowing that wisdom is a fragrance of the mind.
Knowing what wisdom is, we can take the right steps to create wisdom
minds enmasse.

Since ancient times man has been intrigued by wisdom. The ancients
knew the importance of wisdom. However in spite of all the research
they could not figure out wisdom. So they tried to teach wisdom by
teaching it attributes. Even to this day we define wisdom more or
less as the ancients defined wisdom. As a result the current wisdom
education is just as it has always been, a very long process that has
mixed results. Since over a 1000 years wisdom was considered too
complex to be taken up as a complete subject on its own. In the
current era Dr. Vivian Clayton took up the research of wisdom but
even she gave it up after many years of serious research because she
found that wisdom was too fuzzy to understand.
She made the same mistake that every one else makes. When it comes to
wisdom research we stand on the shoulders of Aristotle to look for
further clues to understanding wisdom. Well in the case of wisdom
Aristotle's shoulder should have long been abandoned. Wisdom is like
the ro...*

"The brain is a real physical entity. There is nothing fuzzy about
the brain. The brain can be developed into a healthy physical and
emotional entity. It can be developed to the level where it will
generate wisdom."
The way main stream education understands wisdom today has a big
effect on how wisdom education is pursued.
As we don't know exactly what wisdom is we try to understand wisdom
through its attributes. And we teach wisdom's attribute like love,
respect, honesty, grace more or less by showing the benefits of these
qualities and by persuading the student to realize that acquiring the
attributes of wisdom is good for the student. Thus we teach each
quality one at a time and mainly through persuasion. However when the
brain is at a lower level the very being of the person is composed of
ignorance generated qualities. The very essence of the person is
composed of -2, -1 and +1 attributes.
Suppose a person is fundamentally -1 and you persuade him to become
good what you are actually doing is telling him to behave in a +2
manner, the best he can do is pretend and act +2. Pretending to be +2
and being +2 are two different qualities. Thus he does not change
from the inside he just takes on the role of a +2. He struggles with
his inside being -1 and just pretends in society of being +2. Thus
his wisdom education is never authentic. All he learns is a mask of
wisdom behavior that covers his real -1 being. No wonder there is no
enthusiasm in universities to teach wisdom education as current
wisdom education falls far short of making the student wise.
Wisdom is a quality that sprouts automatically when the brain becomes
emotionally super mature. At the premature level the brain sprouts
ignorance. At the immature level it is a mixture of mostly ignorance
along with some wisdom. At the mature level it is a mixture of
ignorance and mostly wisdom. At the super mature mind level it is
wisdom. Thus real wisdom education means educating the brain to
become +2. Which is attainable by deprogramming the brain of the
root causes of ignorance. Taking out -2 ignorance elevates the brain
to -1 ignorance. Taking out -1 ignorance elevates the brain to +1.
Taking out the trophy self image of +1 results in the brain becoming
+2.
Just as you cannot teach wisdom by teaching wisdom you cannot take
out ignorance by trying to take out ignorance.Taking out ignorance
which is a fragrance is possible only by removing the reasons why
this ignorance is generated in the brain in the first place. Thus you
have to remove all the buried memories of the negative upbringing
episodes that are still running in the unconscious brain. Each
negative incident has to be relived and experienced again in the
light/context of the persons current life. Thus wisdom education is
more of a therapy than a regular education.
*Wisdom is like the root of the tree and its attributes are the
branches.. We try to cultivate the branches without cultivating the
root. Non main stream institutions have been trying to teach wisdom
with mixed results. Main stream institutions see these mixed results
and get discouraged to start wisdom education of their own. Also they
don't dare teach any topic that they cannot define within scientific
terms. Well I am now defining wisdom as the fragrance of the fully
developed emotionally intelligent (+2) super mature brain/mind. I
have found that the attributes of wisdom are generated automatically
by a fully developed emotional intelligent brain. Just as a premature
-2 brain will automatically generate ignorance a fully educated brain
will generate wisdom.
The brain is a real physical entity. There is nothing fuzzy about the
brain.. The brain can be developed into a healthy physical and
emotional entity. It can be developed to the level where it will
generate wisdom.
The kind of fruit a tree will bear will depend on how healthy its
roots are.. Whether the brain will sprout wisdom or ignorance depends
on the emotional educational level of the brain. So wisdom education
is developing lessons and exercises that will make the brain super
mature.
