Description & Coverage
Description:

The concepts of knowledge management and knowledge-intensive work have been developing for quite a while as one of the most critical components to organizational success. Despite its importance across the globe, there has never been a truly international resource to address the issues, trends, and theories involved in this area of study.

The Handbook of Research on Knowledge-Intensive Organizations offers an international collection of studies on knowledge-intensive organizations with insight into organizational realities as varied as universities, consulting agencies, corporations, and high-tech start-ups. As one of the first comprehensive books to cover the topics vitally important for the whole theory of organization and management, this Handbook of Research delivers a state-of-the-art view on this timely issue.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Actor-network theory and autopoiesis
  • Corporate knowledge management platform
  • Knowledge Management
  • Knowledge-intensive business services
  • Knowledge-intensive learning
  • Knowledge-intensive organizations in higher education
  • Organizational Learning
  • Proto-alphabetic sensibility
  • Risks of outsourcing
  • Role of language in the organizing process
  • Tacit Knowledge
