Strategic Learning and Knowledge Management Edited by Ron Sanchez University of Western Australia and Aimé Heene University of Gent, Belgium. Published in association with the Strategic Management Society, The Wiley Strategic Management Series aims to illustrate the ‘best in global strategic management’ for academics, business practitioners and consultants.

- Investigates organizational learning and knowledge management in leading companies.
- Examines learning and knowledge management in several industry contexts, including high-tech and software, but also in more traditional industries.
- Explores the role of learning and knowledge management in strategic management.
