Knowledge management is the new frontier
for businesses, organizations, and institutions of all kinds.
For those that hope to conquer this new territory, establishing
a better understanding of current and future knowledge management
trends and adoption of the most effective practices is imperative.
There are numerous options for executives: intranets, extranets,
groupware, information overload, and core competencies are
continually being redefined. New entities and rules in terms
of intellectual capital and the "Chief Knowledge Officer"
are emerging.
Knowledge Horizons addresses these
issues through a simple but effective framework. This practical
and provocative resource presents the work of many of the
leading voices in knowledge management and related disciplines,
who explore the current trends and offer pragmatic and authoritative
thinking on applied knowledge management from a variety
of positions.
Knowledge Horizons:
- Helps knowledge managers understand current
and future knowledge management trends
- Enables organizations to gauge the future
value of knowledge management investments and how they
will drive new business initiatives
- Pragmatically integrates the experience
and insights of managers and consultants with cutting-edge
academic research in knowledge management
