More About This Book

Overview

Based on the compilation of latest knowledge, research and practices being defined by world leading scholars, practitioners and experts, this is the first work that synthesizes the latest thinking in knowledge management with the design of information technology and Internet enabled new organization forms. Emphasis of most articles is on Knowledge Management, Virtual Organizations and Virtual Teams and Success Factors for Knowledge Management and Virtual Organizations. The scholarly and practitioner contributions to this work represent the first attempt to answer the issues about applying knowledge management for enabling 'anytime, anywhere, anyhow' organizations. These issues will be of relevance to all researchers, scholars, managers, executives and entrepreneurs interested in understanding how information technologies and knowledge management can enable effective design and emergence of virtual organizations, virtual teams and communities of practice. Within this perspective, the focus is on understanding how knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, knowledge acquisition, knowledge exchange, knowledge transfer and management of related risks can be understood and applied in the case of new organization forms including virtual web, virtual corporation, Net broker and business networks.

Themes covered in this section include business model innovation; design of virtual organization forms; net-based models; techniques for enabling knowledge capture, sharing and transfer; and collaboration and competition at intra- and inter-organizational levels. The focus of the second half is on key success factors that are important for realizing virtual models of business transformation.

    Good but may not worth

    It is the best collection of articles about virtual communities in the market. The best article is from Yogesh Malhotra himself who gives a complete new idea of KM. However, I doubt if it is worth. There are a lot of insights and queries but no clear direction.
