The current financial and on-going ecological crises have taught us
that without practical wisdom, business, organisations and
leadership cannot be sustainable. In response to this situation,
the Handbook of Practical Wisdom presents a critically informed
understanding of wise practices, contributing to more integrative
organizational and leadership studies and practice. The focus on
integration emphasises the interdependencies of practical wisdom in
relation to members, groups and cultures of organisations in their
socio-cultural spheres. Wisdom has long slipped from the scholarly
map, and so this handbook provides revived and new mappings for
today and the future. Seeking to actualize creative potentials of
practical wisdom, this book and series aspires to contribute to the
contemporary odysseys and quests for orientation in organisation
and management research and practice. Wisdom research, as presented
in this book, provides bridges to underestimated, neglected or
forgotten knowledge and offers transformative passages between
Scylla - the rocks of dogmatic modernity - and Charybdis - the
whirlpool of dispersed post-modernity. Practical wisdom allows for
a better equipped and more experiential and reflexive journey and
fosters the art of mindful travelling, beyond a reactive,
moralizing sentimentalism. Accordingly, this handbook serves as a
medium for reassessing and rearticulating more responsible ways of
'praxis' in the field of organization and management. In this
spirit, each chapter opens a space for dialogue and debate,
inviting further inquiries, conversations and explorations by and
among its readers: students, academics and practitioners.

Individuals need to survive and grow in changing and sometimes
turbulent organizational environments, while organizations and
societies want individuals to have the knowledge, skills and
abilities that will enable them to prosper and thrive. Personal
Knowledge Management (PKM) is a means of coping with complex
environmental changes and developments: it is a form of
sophisticated career and life management. Personal Knowledge
Management is an evolving concept that focuses on the importance of
individual growth and learning as much as on the technology and
management processes traditionally associated with organizational
knowledge management. This book looks at the emergence of PKM from
a multi-disciplinary perspective, and its contributors reflect the
diverse fields of study that touch upon it. Relatively little
research or major conceptual development has so far been focused on
PKM, but already significant questions are being asked, such as 'is
there an inherent conflict between personal and organizational
knowledge management and how best do we harmonize individual and
organizational goals?' This book will inform, stimulate and
challenge every reader. By delving both deeply and broadly into its
subject, the distinguished authors help all those concerned with
'knowledge work' and 'knowledge workers' to see how PKM supports
and affects individuals, organizations and society as a whole; to
better understand the concepts involved and to benefit from
relevant research in this important area.
