* Thoroughly explains generic knowledge management frameworks and
their application and relevance to planned events and event tourism
* International case studies contributed by practitioners and other
experts in the field at the end of chapters used to illustrate
methods and applications. * Online lecturer resources to accompany
in the form of teaching ppt slides, end of chapter multiple choice
questions and sample questions. Provides an in-depth understanding
of the challenging nature of events, where knowledge needs to be
created and shared quickly and efficiently (pre- and during the
event), as well as stored effectively post-event before the event
organising team disperses. Generic Knowledge Management frameworks
and models are introduced, applied and adapted to fit this
challenging environment in order for event organisers to avoid
'reinventing the wheel' each year. Knowledge Management in Event
Organisations is the first book to: * Encourage the adoption of
standard knowledge management frameworks and methods in the field
of event management; * Provide concepts and frameworks that can be
adapted to a range of different events and different stakeholders;
* Introduce the reader to alternative approaches to knowledge
management, such as communities-of-practice, power/knowledge and
Appreciative Sharing of Knowledge; * Recommend best practices for
event organisers to develop a collaborative 'knowledge culture'
through, e.g. trust and mutual understanding, and hence develop
professionalisation of the field; * Develop a better understanding
of how effective Knowledge Management can provide a competitive
advantage for event organisations through, e.g. Efficiency,
Innovation and Organisational Learning. Part of the Event
Management Theory and Methods Series. This series examines the
extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop
event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of
event management and event tourism. They introduce the theory, show
how it is being used in the events sector through a literature
review, incorporate examples and case studies written by
researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be
used effectively in the real world. With online resource material,
this mix-and-match collection is ideal for lecturers who need
theoretical foundations and case studies for their classes, by
students in need of reference works, by professionals wanting
increased understanding alongside practical methods, and by
agencies or associations that want their members and stakeholders
to have access to a library of valuable resources. Series editor:
Donald Getz PhD., Professor Emeritus, University of Calgary,
Canada.
