Overview
Information and knowledge have profoundly transformed businesses, organizations and society. Knowledge management promises concepts and instruments that help organizations to provide an environment supportive of knowledge creation, sharing and application. Information and communication technologies are often regarded as the enabler for the effective and especially efficient implementation of knowledge management. The book presents an almost encyclopedic treatise of the many important facets, concepts and theories that have influenced knowledge management and integrates them into a framework consisting of strategy, organization, systems and economics guiding the design of successful initiatives. The third edition particularly extends coverage of the two pillars of implementing knowledge management initiatives, i.e. organization and systems
Editorial Reviews
Booknews
Basing much of his study on research conducted with managers at large German organizations (via questionnaires and interviews), Maier (business informatics, U. of Regensburg) offers both an introduction to the concepts and theories of knowledge management systems, and an assessment of the current state of practice. Much emphasis is given to organizational culture, as it is found to be a major factor in the success or failure of knowledge management initiatives. Four concluding scenarios demonstrate the successful implementation of knowledge management systems in organizations of varying size and structure. Annotation c.
