Overview

Written by some of the leading international scholars in the field, this book presents the latest thinking in knowledge management. Knowing in Firms provides a strong response to the need for a body of scientific knowledge on the understanding, managing and measuring of knowledge in organizations. This fresh analysis of knowledge management is organized in two clear parts. The first part covers the topics that are important for understanding knowledge in organizations, linking the concepts of organizational learning and trust with theories of knowledge. This section uncovers the theoretical assumptions underlying the research of knowledge in organizations and conceptualizes future research in the field. The second part presents practical approaches to, and models for, managing, measuring and developing knowledge in organizations. It also addresses how to determine and leverage the value of knowledge in organizations, through concepts such as intellectual capital and the value of core processes in the organization. Knowing in Firms will be essential reading for advanced level students and academics in strategic and general management, as well as for reflective practitioners.
