About this title

Synopsis

Going Virtual: Distributed Communities of Practice contributes to the understanding of how more subtle kinds of knowledge can be managed in a distributed international environment. It describes work in the field of knowledge management, with a specific focus on the management of knowledge which cannot be managed by the normal capture-codify-store approach and provides answers to the questions of what is the nature of the more subtle kind of knowledge and how can it be managed in the distributed environment?
