For this episode of Brite Ideas, we welcomed Dr. Anita Straujuma. Anita is the Executive Director at Riga Technical University Development Fund in Latvia.
Anita completed her dissertation on knowledge management and alumni engagement.
Knowledge management refers to the collection of methods relating to creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization.
During her research, Anita discovered the concept of customer knowledge management (CKM). CKM merges two concepts: knowledge management and customer relationship management. This discovery led Anita to investigate alumni roles in relation to their university and focus on an important question:
"Do the alumni see themselves as customers?”
