The definitive overview of knowledge management, now available
in paperback. This influential book establishes the enduring
vocabulary and concepts in the burgeoning field of knowledge
management. It serves as the hands-on resource of choice for
companies that recognize knowledge as the only sustainable source
of competitive advantage going forward. Drawing from their work
with more than 30 knowledge-rich firms, Davenport and Prusak -
experienced consultants with a track record of success - examine
how all types of companies can effectively understand, analyze,
measure, and manage their intellectual assets, turning corporate
wisdom into market value.They categorize knowledge work into four
sequential activities - accessing, generating, embedding, and
transferring - and look at the key skills, techniques, and
processes of each. While they present a practical approach to
cataloging and storing knowledge so that employees can easily
leverage it throughout the firm, the authors caution readers on the
limits of communications and information technology in managing
intellectual capital.
