As the economy increasingly moves towards a knowledge based economy, the
ability to manage knowledge becomes a matter of competitive survival. Many other books
only address the subject only partially, from a human resource, information systems or
practitioner perspective. This is the first textbook to bring together and integrate all
these dimensions.
This engaging text offers a readable blend of theory and practice, making this the
ideal resource for students studying knowledge management courses within business
management, information science and computer science degrees at both undergraduate and
postgraduate levels.
