The book "Knowledge Management in Organizations" is the most comprehensive and critical handbook on the subject. It examines many perspectives - including organizational behavior, Human Resource Management, systems, and socio-cultural factors - introducing the concept of knowledge and analyzing how it can be effectively managed within organizations.
The international team of authors ensures that the broad theoretical coverage comes alive with practical illustrations and case studies exploring topics such as knowledge dissemination through social media, knowledge transfer in various cultural contexts, and the interaction of leadership, culture, and knowledge management in Australian SMEs. The examples are diverse, international, and highly relevant to each chapter, highlighting the importance of knowledge management in all types of organizational settings.
The 'Time to Reflect' sections, review and discussion questions, as well as the activities accompanying each illustration and case study, predispose students to engage critically and reflectively with the subject. Despite the critical approach and coverage extent, the text remains accessible through the widespread praise for its writing style, coherent structure, definition boxes throughout the chapter, and its manageable size.
