During the last decades the world economy has experienced
significant transformations. The pace of change is still showing no
sign of slowing down. Financial globalization and rapid merge of
information and communication technologies have integrated the
world economy. The world economy has been turned from an industrial
into a "knowledge economy." Knowledge has become a strategic asset
for firms and the ability to manage knowledge seems to be the
crucial management skill now in the "knowledge age." It is assumed
as basis of the knowledge economy in sense of sharing knowledge and
creating new knowledge for commercial advantage. Findings of the
research about the factors of knowledge sharing process indicate
that the success of intra-organizational knowledge sharing in firms
is determined to be an important extent of social relationships
between the people and departments involved. This book provides
interesting insights to the concepts of knowledge and social
capital. It shows how they take effect in real life business: what
role does trust and trustworthiness play? Do we need shared
visions? Can the existence and the effect shared values be
measured? - Interesting questions? Yes, indeed. And the answers
given in this book are even based on statistical hard facts from
empirical data. And this is not always the case in books that deal
with issues on the borderline between economic and social science.
