Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate social media use, demographic characteristics and knowledge sharing among postgraduates’ students of Tai-Solarin University of Education. Five (5) research objectives and research questions were formulated for this study. Questionnaire was used to gather data for this study while frequency counts and percentage method was used in data analysis. Findings of this study show that Facebook, WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Twitter, Snapchat and Imo are the available social media for knowledge sharing by the postgraduates of the institution. Also, findings revealed that information update, organizing of lectures, term paper, project, brainstorming, organizing seminars, assignment, organizing tutorials, group reading, and organizing symposiums are the purposes of use of social media by the postgraduate students of the institution. It was concluded that lack of trust, time consuming, cybercrime, insufficient data subscription, lateness of information, unwillingness of postgraduate students to share their tacit knowledge, financial constraints, low readiness of postgraduates to gain more knowledge, social media obsolesce and low acceptance of social media by postgraduate students are the challenges facing the use of social media for knowledge sharing by the postgraduate students of Tai-Solarin University of Education.

Abstract: This paper present and describe the Emerging Risk Knowledge System (ERKS) which offers solutions to manage effectively complex and unstable situations like emerging risks. Current knowledge is a base for developing new knowledge. However, developing a new Knowledge System (using an interdisciplinary approach) will help the managers to re-evaluate their risk environment. The world's volatility proves that an interdisciplinary understanding of the role of knowledge in the management of supply chain risk is needed. What makes wise-decisions so challenging is that they have to be trapped in the fog of doubt and uncertainty, clouding our ability to make-clear assessments. It is agreed that each situation regarding the supply chain risk is unique and the challenge is to develop an interdisciplinary approach that is meaningful in the practical context. The objective of ERKS is to “train-our-minds” to be more efficient-about-optimizing our decision-making ability. Building on three components (perception, tools, and experiences) that influence one another it develops a system that makes a manager capable of designing new ways of handling disruptions in supply chain management. It aims to provide him with the knowledge he need for his strategy.
