Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
As knowledge management becomes embedded within organizations it becomes more important for students to understand its principles and applications. In this textbook, Dr. Kimiz Dalkir provides a comprehensive overview of the field on knowledge management with an emphasis on translating theory into practice. Working from a multidisciplinary perspective, Dr. Dalkir weaves key concepts, tools, and techniques from sociology, cognitive science, content management, knowledge engineering, cybernetics, organizational behaviour, change management, and information science into a three-level approach to understand Knowledge Management from the individual, community, and organization levels. Using everyday language and clear illustrations, Dr. Dalkir integrates theory and practice in a highly accessible manner to provide students with a comprehensive and practical knowledge management skill set.

• A Practical Look At Kw
29 June, 2009
This is one of several KW texts that apply practice to the theory. This is not as dated as it seems, and I keep referring back to it.

• A Great New Way Of Thinking!
28 May, 2008
This book will give you a functional view of what knowledge management is and how to implement its processes in your company or organization. It's written very well and not a boring read. It has a lot of interesting new ways to think about how to change corporate or organizational culture in order to effectively compete in a global business climate. This book can be useful for people that work in a business with four employees or a business with thousands.

• An Informative Read
19 April, 2009
I was asked to buy this book for a class, and have found it really interesting and compelling. It's not often one says this for a textbook, but it is true. Because of this book, and this class, I have decided to do my entire dissertation on an aspect of knowledge management theory. Pretty cool...
