About this title

From the Publisher:

Knowledge management and learning have come to the forefront as ways of building enduring competitive success. Whilst this recognition has gained widespread acceptance there still remains a relative paucity in the book that represents the subject issue in a practical yet rigorous manner. Many competing texts tackle the subject either theoretically or in a piecemeal way, focusing upon narrow perspectives. This text adopts a holistic perspective in addressing the wide range of issues that face organisations embarking on the knowledge management journey.The following case studies are among those included to show how various organisations have tackled this issue from a broad perspective:Rover CarsRank Xerox British AirwaysHewlett PackardFord MotorsICLElida Faberge
