DOWNLOAD EBOOKCollective knowledge and the associated concepts of collectively learning, remembering and inventing are increasingly important in today’s economy and society. Completing knowledge work alone is more and more difficult for individuals. Based on novel data sets which identify founders as inventors on patents and survey data collected from senior management, the author investigates questions about knowledge processing. What determines whether dispersed specialist knowledge can be located and used to complete tasks or to create new knowledge? How are social interactions organized and to what extent do individuals such as founders influence the course of action taken by the system as a whole?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKToday Learning Organizations are shaped by collective knowledge and the existence of teams and groups of people that are continuously developing their capacity and ability to create results. Knowledge-based organizations understand the importance of continually learning at all levels and facilitate learning for their members through empowering people, encouraging collaboration, and promoting open dialogue. Organizational management issues have become strategic and fundamental in the collection and sharing of data and information and are recognized as challenging to both public and private organizations around the world. This has created the need to knowledge governance mechanisms to support Knowledge Management practices in organizations.For this governance, the mechanisms and procedures that encompass Knowledge Management, advancing beyond the traditional Corporate Governance (CorpGov) model, have been consolidated into a new governance model described as Knowledge Governance (KGov). Such model considers the processes of the knowledge related to the use, creation, retention, integration and sharing. In order to implement governance, it is essential to develop competencies and establish corporate policies and structures focusing on respect for common interests and collective goals. In this context, mechanisms must be created for the creation, sharing, storage and transfer of knowledge, making changes happen in synergy and adding value to the organization as a whole.The book covers the newly emerging area of knowledge governance and Learning Organizations and expands our understanding of Learning Organizations and their ability to acquire, create and share knowledge while continually examining organizational behavioral issues affecting their productivity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOrganizations are facing major disruptions in technology, consumer preferences, and in the makeup of their workforce, and as a result, they will need to adapt to these rapidly changing times to stay effective. Organizations that are able to tap into the collective knowledge of their employees and leverage their insights will have an advantage over those that lack this connectivity. Implementing a knowledge management (KM) strategy can help organizations improve operational effectiveness, innovation, and adapt to changes, but the majority of KM implementations fail due to misalignment with the organization's existing culture. Organizational culture can enable effective KM, or it can be a barrier to its implementation. The Handbook of Research on Organizational Culture Strategies for Effective Knowledge Management and Performance defines the relationship between organizational culture and knowledge management and how they impact one another. This handbook also identifies critical business practices to assist organizations in transitioning to work from home while maintaining a strong corporate culture that includes beneficial knowledge-sharing behaviors. Covering topics including knowledge management, organizational culture, and change management, this text is essential for managers, executives, practitioners, leaders in business, non-profits, academicians, researchers, and students looking for research on how organizations can thrive and adapt due to emerging global disruptions as well as local or internal disruptions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe importance and value of tracking and sharing the dispersed knowledge resources of contemporary organizations have received widespread rec- nition in recent years. It is widely believed that with the transition from the industrial to information-based economies, organizational knowledge has emerged as the single most critical resource at both macro- and mic- levels. A major challenge for most organizations during this transition and beyond is to learn to deal with the intricacies of discovering knowledge from the vast amounts of data being generated, identifying pockets of - portant knowledge in various forms, to devise strategies and techniques to formalize parts that lend themselves to codification, and to nurture tech- cal and other solutions with which useful knowledge can be shared among relevant participants. This has the potential to produce greater knowledge utilization leading to multiplier effects in organizational performance. This calls for an approach in which both the organizational and technological dimensions of the challenge are better understood and effectively integ- ted. The papers included in this volume were selected from a collection of papers presented at an invitation-only workshop entitled 'Knowledge - nagement (KM) and the Global Firm: Organizational and Technological Dimensions' held at the University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia in February 2003. The workshop was made possible by a generous grant from the Carnegie Bosch Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, Pit- burgh, USA.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe concept of knowledge management is not new. For generations businessmen have passed on knowledge of how to run a business to their children. But the size, scope technological sophistication and organizational complexity of modern organizations requires new solutions to ensure that employees not only have a sufficient data base of knowledge to draw from but that it is easily accessible when the demands of doing business require it. Increasingly the leadership of organizations must rely on the collective knowledge of its employees to make meaningful strategic decisions; and often that knowledge is localized, in various pockets throughout an organization, making it difficult to access all the information needed when it is needed. Not only is the range of knowledge in an organization extensive; the forms in which it exists and can be accessed are wide-ranging as well. It may be documented and available in print or soft form. And even if it is not documented, knowledge exists with employees in the form of their expertise and experience. However, if an organization's knowledge base is not centrally organized and easily accessible to all, being able to determine and apply the precise solution to remedy a specific problem is not likely to be easy and may not always be possible, even though the solution may reside somewhere in an organization's collective knowledge base. It is for this reason that "the right knowledge," in the right form, must be made available to employees, so that decisions can be made that have a high impact on business. Besides having the need to make existing knowledge centralized and accessible, organizations strive to find and create new knowledge to help them grow and sustain their position in competitive markets. And there is "tacit knowledge" held by employees of an organization in the form of intuition that can and should be drawn upon in an effort to marshal all of an organization's resources to maintain its competitiveness. These forms of knowledge need to be harnessed as well. The objectives of this book are to convey to the reader why organizations should manage knowledge, to explain the barriers that exist that can sometimes prevent them from doing so successfully, and to demonstrate how to tread the path to knowledge management successfully so that it can become a factor in helping an organization achieve its business objectives.
