Knowledge Management and its Integrative Elements

Abstract

From the Publisher: Many organizations fail to effectively manage and use the mostimportant competitive edge they possess - their knowledge and intellectual capital. This book covers the growing field of knowledge management, with particular emphasis on knowledge-based systems and their use in preserving knowledge in an organization, and integrating it across departments and disciplines. Edited by experts in creating integrated knowledge management programs, and featuring chapters by leading international authorities in this developing field, Knowledge Management and its Integrative Elements is a hands-on guide that shows how businesses and other organizations can re-engineer their processes using an applied knowledge-based approach. Each chapter introduces a different aspect of the field and demonstrates its application in actual case studies. Both the creation of a knowledge base and the development of engines for specific applications is covered. Examples from industry, education, and government show the wide application of this exciting new field of study. The book also covers promising trends such as learning organizations, intelligent organizations, and enterprise management. From computer science students to information executives, if you need to manage knowledge in an organization, Knowledge Management and its Integrative Elements is required reading.
