A successful leader or entrepreneur has one thing in common with all great leaders and
entrepreneurs, and that is the ability to exchange knowledge and wisdom with others. As there
are so many ways for people to communicate today, both individually and as a group,
communication has probably never been more complex or challenging than it is now. To the
author, the most important skills to have in the 21st century are those that are used to develop
and exchange knowledge, as well as those that are used to communicate. Communication in
the context of knowledge exchange and development is often challenged by asymmetries
between various stakeholder groups within the context of knowledge exchange and
development. In order to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, effective communication is key
to bridging differences in perspectives. A thorough understanding of the critical mechanisms
that often intervene when knowledge is being exchanged within an organization, however, is
essential if these exchanges are to be successful.
There are four aspects that are generally associated with knowledge exchange in an
organization: vision and mission, expectations, clarity, and change. Communication of
knowledge can only be effective if one knows how information relates to one’s vision and
mission in order to be able to effectively communicate it. Investment in knowledge
management is primarily made with the aim of having flawless communication as a primary
objective. There is a difference between the exchange of knowledge in terms of not only what
is communicated, but also in terms of how it is communicated. Transferring knowledge can
often be accomplished simply by communicating as we normally do on a regular basis. In
order to achieve their goals, humans tend to form complex organizations. Organizations serve a
variety of purposes, whether they are intended to govern a society or serve other purposes. In
order for any organization to function properly, it must maintain effective communication both
internally and externally.
Knowledge is power, but what takes it to a whole new level is when it is communicated
flawlessly and exchanged meaningfully. In order to facilitate knowledge exchange,
technologies can play an important role in reducing barriers. To ensure smooth operation and
efficient day-to-day operations, communication and knowledge exchange must be as effective
and clear as possible. Organizational challenges occur when this is not the case, for example,
stakeholders may feel detached from each other and unmotivated, leading to mistakes that
could have severe consequences.
The flow of knowledge throughout an organization is a great way to boost efficiency, to
improve bottom line, and to encourage innovation within an organization as a whole. This will
help an organization become more efficient and more profitable. There is no doubt that an
open-minded, positive attitude greatly enhances the ability to communicate and to exchange
knowledge in a constructive manner. In order for an organization to be successful, it is
imperative that it is capable of communicating effectively in all forms, including written,
verbal, and listening skills. In summary, all three elements of knowledge development,
exchange, and communication skills revolve around people, and being able to form successful
relationships is a crucial part of this process.

This study entitled Leadership Competence of Supreme Pupil Government Officers in Relation to Academic Performance: Basis for Development Program, determined the level of competence of SPG officers in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and student representation in relation to academic performance. Respondents were 103 SPG officers in eight elementary schools. Descriptive-correlative research design was used. Data were collected using the standardized questionnaire of Arribado (2019). Results revealed that SPG officers comprise mostly of 12-13 years old, female, grade six pupils, with complete set of officers. Respondents were mostly poor. Level of leadership competence was high. Level of leadership competence in terms of profile was high. Academic performance was outstanding. No significant difference in the level of leadership competence of SPG officers according to age sex, and grade level, but significant difference existed in position and socio-economic status, and there was no significant relationship between the level of leadership competence and academic performance of SPG officers.

In education, mobile technology creates value on three fundamental pillars: productivity, coordination, and transformation. Mobile apps are becoming an increasingly important aspect of teaching and learning in many countries. The use of mobile applications in education is not only beneficial, but also provides students with an enjoyable and interactive experience. For a mobile product launch to be as successful as it can be, it is imperative that a systematic, precise, controlled, and well-established process is in place, which is controlled, efficient, and well-established. Many educational organizations find themselves in situations where they have to get all departments working effectively and together in order to meet a specific deadline, including marketing, production, and operations, after the organization's product clearance board approves the new product. In many ways, the situation is similar to the software crisis that took place in the middle of the 1970's. As a result of globalization and communication, oftentimes the effects of globalization are amplified because of the vast amount of information that must be shared among project team members. Every educational organization has a unique style and way of doing things, and the project management team is no exception. As a consequence, it is commonplace to see that every education entity has its own particular style and way of doing things. In regards to the creation of a mobile application that is going to function efficiently, it is important to remember that it is extremely important to stick to the strategies and requirements that will yield the best results for the education sector.

It has been estimated that digital adoption coming out of emerging technologies has taken an enormous leap in the past year at the level of organizations, industries, and society as a whole. In just a few years, the COVID-19 crisis has created significant changes in the way society has developed knowledge, exchanged knowledge, and adopted emerging technologiesIn just a few years, the COVID-19 crisis has created significant changes in the way society has developed knowledge, exchanged knowledge, and adopted emerging technologies. Increasingly important in the current social landscape will be the development and exchange of knowledge as emerging technologies continue to transform the post Covid-19 converging landscape. A post-covid context remains vastly unexplored in terms of knowledge development and exchange despite the popularity of Covid-19 and emerging technologies. It is the purpose of this research to provide insight into knowledge development, exchange, and emerging technologies in a global context. The conclusions presented in this paper were developed by conducting a thorough in-depth interview with 124 professionals from 12 different organizations that are involved in knowledge development, knowledge exchange, and emerging technologies with a view to the conclusions presented in this paper.

Among the essential elements of knowledge management is the use of information and data, as well as the knowledge, skills, and abilities inherent within communities, as well as their ideas, commitments, and motivations for making good decisions as emerging technologies become more prevalent. Numerous leading social scientists in this field have asserted that organizational knowledge should be regarded as a strategic asset. There is a growing awareness of the importance of gathering, locating, capturing, and sharing collective knowledge and expertise of societies, and societies are urged to develop effective and efficient methods of gathering, locating, capturing, and sharing that knowledge in order to deal with problems and to benefit from opportunities. People living in many countries and regions are interested in implementing knowledge management processes and technologies, and many of them have included knowledge management as an integral part of their overall development strategies. The management of knowledge plays an increasingly important role in global economic development (Bell, 1973, 1978). In order to remain relevant in the modern world, organizations should not ignore knowledge management and emerging technologies.

In many societies, diversity has been neglected. The importance of diversity in the society for knowledge generation has become increasingly apparent in recent years. In order to achieve diversity, we need to take into account people from various backgrounds and backgrounds, and to understand that every individual is unique. Differentiating people can be based on race or ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, sexual orientation, economic background, and disabilities. We must recognize that each of these differences results in different experiences for individuals, and that all of these experiences can be synthesized to generate knowledge that is both more inclusive and more comprehensive. Diverse initiatives can be used to promote diversity in educational institutions, such as affirmative action and diversity programs. As diversity enhances receptivity to learning from others' experiences, it is essential for creativity and innovation. Furthermore, diversity promotes productivity and performance as a team can draw on the experience of each individual to find solutions to problems. Individuals must be aware of different opportunities and possibilities in order to grow as individuals, and diversity allows this to happen. As diversity prepares individuals for a diverse world, it is also important to students' learning. Ultimately, diversity contributes significantly to the creation of new knowledge due to the fact that it helps people draw on their own experiences and the experiences of others in order to discover new approaches to problems.

As a result of international competition and a globalized environment, companies today face the remarkable challenge of how to achieve and maintain their competitive advantage in a highly competitive environment in which international competitors play a significant role. The goal of digital governance has always been to make people's lives easier and improve customer satisfaction. In response to the recovery in markets, organizations around the world are now playing a different role. There is no doubt that companies are making considerable efforts to boost the factors which make them more competitive, including adoption of the principles of digital governance and automation. The role of digital governance is currently more of a facilitation than a regulation. Leaders and executives understand the importance of digital strategy and governance for competitive advantage. This paper examines the challenges and competitiveness that can be gained by digital governance on the world's business strategy using numerous real-world examples and anecdotes. This paper examines the challenges and competitiveness that can be gained by digital governance on the world's business strategy using numerous real-world examples and anecdotes. It is true that digitization has been around for some time, but there is still a long way to go to fully realize its potential. The aim of this paper is to explain how concrete elements of digital governance can affect the competitiveness of companies. Thus, digital governance was a key element in the successful recovery of the markets after the Covid era, despite the fact that it's been around for so long. In order for a company to be successful in international markets and maintain its quality, its productivity performance compared to its competitor's digital governance plays a very important role.

Soybean is the most globalized, traded and processed crop commodity. USA, Argentina and Brazil continue to be the top three producers and exporters of soybean and soymeal. Indian soy-industry has also made a mark in the national and global arena. While soymeal, soyoil, lecithin and other soy-derivatives stand to be driven up by commerce, the soyfoods for human health and nutrition need to be further promoted. The changing habitat of commerce in soy-derivatives necessitates a shift in strategy, technological tools and policy environment to make Indian soybean industry continue to thrive in the new industrial era. Terms of trade for soy-farming and soy-industry could be further improved. Present trends, volatilities, slowdowns, challenges faced and associated desiderata are accordingly spelt out in the present article.

A survey on status and trends of information and communication technologies (ICT) use for knowledge sharing in agriculture was attempted. Among asian countries, India comes under the second next category after the advanced user category comprising Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Both profit-motive and business augmentation on one hand and community services and rural welfare on the other have been the objectives of ICT-based models in agriculture in India. Major ICTs endeavours for agriculture and rural concerns include multifaceted projects and services of National Informatics Centre, 'Bhoomi' of Karnataka, Village Information Centres of Government of India, ITC's e-Choupal, TARAhaat, iKisan.com, i-Villages of Puducherry (formerly Pondicherry) of Swaminathan Research Foundation, i-Community of Hewlett-Packard, Warana Wired Village Project, n-Logue, 'Gyandoot' of Government of Madhya Pradesh, Knowledge Network for Grass Root Innovations of the Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institution, Traditional Knowledge Digital Library and several others. The ICT endeavours for agriculture belong to a wide array of agencies, viz private sector, public sector, self-help groups and NGOs, and also include combined endeavours. e-Learning is being increasingly resorted to both in (i) in campus or 'presence' mode, and (ii) 'distance' mode. Its use is gradually easing-out the stakeholders from the stranglehold of the inter-deterrence of the 3 arms of the 'Iron Triangle', viz (i) quality, (ii) access, and (iii) cost. The social groups having less mobility are poised to benefit more from this mode of education. This could also be one of the potent tools to bring about gender mainstreaming. e-Learning is being integrated into the existing organizational and educational structure as a hybrid system that can be called 'ICT-supported learning'. Connectivity, content development, infrastructure development, faculty development, need assessment on a continuum, linking the nodes and formation of consortia etc. are the areas identified that need to be supported and developed.

Article
Discusses different kinds of professional knowledge (e.g., generalizability, explicitness), the 4 modes of knowledge (replication, application, interpretation, and association) suggested by H. S. Broudy et al (1964), and contexts of knowledge use (e.g., research publications, personal action). Based on the discussion, a 7-step reconceptualization of the relationship between higher education and the professions is presented. Appendices outline areas of knowledge and know-how.

This paper proposes a definition of communicative competence for individuals using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. The proposed definition suggests that communicative competence is a relative and dynamic, interpersonal construct based on functionality of communication, adequacy of communication, and sufficiency of knowledge, judgement, and skill in four interrelated areas: linguistic competence, operational competence, social competence, and strategic competence. Linguistic and operational competencies refer to knowledge and skills in the use of the tools of communication; social and strategic competencies reflect functional knowledge and judgement in interaction. The paper urges future research to validate the proposed definition of communicative competence and suggests some implications for assessment and intervention in the AAC field.
