Knowledge management as a discipline has matured over the last
decade. It has moved from being a mere buzzword to an inherently
fundamental concept. Simply put, the knowledge-based assets of the
organization are the only source of sustainable competitive
advantage in today's marketplace. Traditional resources such as
land, labor, and capital, while important, are no longer sufficient
for survival in today's fiercely competitive marketplace. Here,
Desouza, a faculty member at the University of Washington's
Information School and a leader of more than 100 knowledge
management efforts in businesses and governments in thirty
countries, and Scott Paquette, a faculty member at the College of
Information Studies, University of Maryland who is involved in
knowledge management research and corporate projects, provide an
introductory overview of KM today. This book balances the theory
and practice of KM. Desouza and Paquette consider the issues
organizations encounter in the global marketplace. Their book is
the first to integrate social media and networking into KM
practice. The book's nine chapters are divided into three major
parts: Part I covers foundational concepts and introduces the
reader to the key elements of knowledge management. Part II
explores critical activities of knowledge management. Part III
offers a strategic view of knowledge management in organizations.
Each chapter provides a broad overview, graphics that help readers
visualize key points, and several vignettes documenting case
scenarios that will help the reader digest concepts. Knowledge
Management will prove ideal for instructors who have been forced to
design courses around KM business texts, augmented with scholarly
articles. It will also be useful to anyone who needs to better
understand KM to apply it in his or her organization.
