Answer to Question 1

A codification approach results in collection of standardized organization best practices, rules, and SOPs that can be drawn on by anyone who needs them. With a codification approach, knowledge is carefully collected, analyzed, and stored in databases where it can be retrieved easily by users who input organization-specific commands and keywords. It is a form of bureaucratic control that can result in major gains in technical efficiency and allow an organization better to manage its environment.

A codification approach is only suitable when the product or service being provided is itself quite standardized so best practices can continually be discovered and entered into the knowledge management system to be used by others in the organization. It works best when the different functions in the organization are able to provide standardized informationabout changing customer demands or product specifications, for examplethat provides vital input to other functions so the level of mutual adjustment and learning between functions increases, resulting in major gains in effectiveness.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
