R1,447 Discovery Miles 14 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Whilst there are many books on knowledge management there are few aimed directly at HR practitioners and the critical role that they can play in building a knowledge-centric culture. This practical book draws on the author's own experience, as well as that of leading-edge Human Resource and Knowledge Management practitioners (including Linda Holbeche, Elizabeth Lank, and David Snowden), each of whom recognise that building a knowledge-centric culture cannot be achieved through technology alone. It covers areas such as: Defining the key ingredients of a knowledge-centric culture The changing structures, roles and responsibilities needed to create a knowledge-centric culture HR's unique contribution to building a knowledge-centric culture, together with practical steps for getting started on the KM journey and for keeping the momentum going Tools and techniques for: opening up a dialogue about why knowledge management is crucial for business and personal success; knowledge mapping; encouraging and facilitating knowledge sharing, as well as ways of identifying key knowledge players How to help your organisation reframe its assumptions about learning in the knowledge economy How to ensure that your HR practices are knowledge aligned Contents Defining the characteristics of a knowledge-creating culture; The strategic context for HR's involvement in the knowledge management arena; Planning the cultural shift; Communicating the cultural shift; Knowledge and business process mapping; Understanding the motivation for learning; New approaches to learning; Interweaving people, processes and technology to create and support a knowledge creating culture; Retaining knowledge; Conclusions; References.

The Global Business of Coaching - A Meta-Analytical Perspective (Paperback): David Lines, Christina Evans The Global Business of Coaching - A Meta-Analytical Perspective (Paperback)
David Lines, Christina Evans
R1,221 Discovery Miles 12 210 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Coaching has become a global business phenomenon, yet the way that coaching has evolved and spread across the globe is not unproblematic. Some of these challenges include: different types/genres of coaching; understanding and relevance of different coaching philosophies and models in different cultural contexts; equivalency of qualifications and coach credentials, as well as questions over standards and governance, as part of a wider debate around professionalization. Coaching then, as with the transfer of knowledge and professionalization in other disciplines, is not immune to ethnocentricity. Through a combination of adopting a meta-analysis of coaching, supported with narratives of coaching practice drawn from different socio-political/cultural contexts, the aim of this book is to challenge current knowledge, understanding and norms of how coaching is, or should, be practised in different cultural contexts. This book will provide a foundation for further research in coaching as an academic field of study and as an emerging profession. It will resonate with critical scholars, coach educators, and coach practitioners who want to develop their praxis and enhance their reflexivity and be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of business and leadership, human resource development, organizational learning and development, mentoring and coaching.

Re-Tayloring Management - Scientific Management a Century On (Paperback): Leonard Holmes Re-Tayloring Management - Scientific Management a Century On (Paperback)
Leonard Holmes; Edited by Christina Evans
R1,128 Discovery Miles 11 280 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Over a century has passed and yet there is growing evidence that knowledge workers across the globe today are as constrained by F.W. Taylor's much-maligned The Principles of Scientific Management, as factory workers were in the early twentieth century. Re-Tayloring Management looks critically at Taylor's philosophy on management and contrasts it with other perspectives that have since emerged, along with the professionalization of management and the growth in business and management education. The contributors demonstrate that despite the complexity and uncertainty that organizations face, instead of designing work systems where knowledge and service workers have the freedom to apply knowledge and skills at the point they are most needed, managers are obsessed with maintaining tighter control. This approach conflicts with contemporary job design principles, which emphasise 'job crafting', whereby individuals are encouraged to craft their role in a way that is congruent with their identity. Drawing on insights from academics with diverse backgrounds and interests, and organised around 'past', 'present' and 'future' themes, this book is a thought-provoking read for professional managers, as well as for postgraduate students and academics teaching and researching organizational studies and management.

"The Cabin on Green Creek" tells the story of Helen Nordstrom, a writer and retired nurse, who has moved back to the valley in Wyoming where she grew up. Helen is merely looking for some peace and solitude at her cabin in the mountains. She is haunted by her ex-husband's suicide, then finds her niece dead of a drug overdose. While hiking on the Table Mountain trail, she witnesses a young man commit suicide. Stunned by this event, she becomes involved in the search for the stranger's identity with Sheriff's Deputy Dan Bell who befriended her at the time of her niece's death. Although Helen is an optimistic, happy person, these three deaths have a profound impact on her life. She struggles with the idea of suicide and tries to find answers as to why these people chose to die. As Helen narrates the tale, she gently describes the beauty of the Wyoming countryside and reminisces about her childhood growing up on a ranch in the valley. Her love of nature and her reverence for life overshadow the sadness caused by the losses she experiences. "The Cabin on Green Creek" is an easy read that is like coming home. One will recognize immediately that the author knows and loves this Wyoming wonderland as much as she knows and loves the people who live there. With just a touch of nostalgic romance, this book is a breath of fresh air that is simplistic yet thought-provoking and well-written.
