Recently knowledge management and management learning has received
considerable published coverage; however, most of this exposure is
based on a rational, mechanistic view of knowledge management.
Practice, on the other hand, has taught us that knowledge
management and learning are extremely broad concepts with an
expanding area of subfields. This rationalized and measured view of
knowledge management has lead to a more technologically driven
development of the field. In practice, however, this view of
knowledge management has fallen short of its promise. This
situation has created the need for a more encompassing approach to
knowledge management. An approach that will encompass a wider
domain of knowledge management topics; including topics such as,
workplace learning, knowledge infrastructure, knowledge
representation, innovation and learning, knowledge culture and
learning, and knowledge technologies.
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT LEARNING: Extending the
Horizons of Knowledge-Based Management examines a range of topical
considerations in the field by utilizing dynamic and non-linear
systems behavior or the complexity paradigm. From this examination
have come a number of new and promising relevant extensions to
knowledge management and its practice. Many of the topics have been
pulled from "real world" situations in actual companies, and
therefore these topical treatments reflect quantitative and
qualitative research done within the knowledge management framework
of actual company experience. Offered are a series of topical
treatments that extend the parameters of knowledge management and
examine the practical implications of these extensions.
The book begins with anextended introduction and theoretical
framework. Contributing authors have written chapters that add to
both the framework and the practical consequences of knowledge
management. These chapters suggest many lessons learned that will
find considerable use in practice. Some of these chapters include
an investigation of the "doa (TM)s and dona (TM)ts" virtual
learning based on real-life cases, the use of design teams for
group learning, the role of language and the creation of common
ground between company and client, culture as a dynamic and
non-linear constructed concept, innovation and knowledge management
and more. The book offers an exceptional range of contributions
within a developing paradigm. Within this context, the book
illustrates why and how of knowledge management is important for
companies.
