New book on Knowledge Management
New book on Knowledge Management
Anthony F. Buono og Flemming Poulfelt, professors from Bentley College, US and CopenhagenBusinessSchool have published a new book on knowledge management.
The book presents sixteen chapters exploring various perspectives but focusing on knowledge management within the context of the management consulting industry, the dynamics associated with knowledge sharing and dissemination, methodological approaches to studying knowledge in organizations, and reflections on knowledge management and management consulting.
The book underlines the importance of KM initiatives being aligned with the needs of the organization and its members, that the KM system is "owned" by organizational members, and that it is understood as an ongoing process rather than simply another management objective or faddish consulting tool. The focus, therefore, should be on how knowledge processes can be facilitated, leveraged and utilized in organizational value creation.
