Kurzbeschreibung

This book takes an innovative "building block" approach to knowledge management, one of the hottest issues in management today. This structured approach results in a practical tool for analyzing the entire range of knowledge-related activities in an organization. Focused and well structured, this book helps managers better understand the many complexities of knowledge management and provides guidelines for charting a path forward.

KM - Knowledge Management (Wissens-Management) ist eines der wichtigsten und heiß diskutierten Themen in der Unternehmenswelt. Hier geht es darum, wie man einen wichtigen und nur wenig ausgelasteten Aktivposten, den es in ALLEN Organisationen gibt - nämlich Wissen - identifiziert und ausnutzt, um so seinen Wettbewerbsvorteil zu maximieren. Ein solides Management ist deshalb erforderlich, um Wissen - als diffuser, immaterieller Aktivposten - in einen materiellen Aktivposten umzuwandeln. Dieses Buch verfolgt einen innovativen "Baukasten"-Ansatz, wobei die Autoren zunächst eine Reihe wissensbezogener Managementprozesse vorstellen, dann jede Einzelkomponente analysieren und so dem Leser praktische und strukturierte Methoden vermitteln, das gesamte Spektrum wissensbasierter Aktivitäten innerhalb einer Organisation zu bewerten. Mit vielen praktischen Beispielen und Fallstudien von Arthur Andersen, AT&T, Hewlett-Packard und Skandia. (10/99)
