Many organizations are now realizing that their competitive edge lies mostly in the brainpower-the intellectual capital-of their employees and management. To stay ahead of the pack, companies must leverage their knowledge, internally and externally. But it is not enough to develop lessons-learned databases. Experts now believe the current savior of organizations is knowledge management-the conceptualization, review, consolidation, and action phases of creating, securing, combining, coordinating, and retrieving knowledge-in short, the process of creating value from an organization's intangible assets. Jay Liebowitz, one of the leading knowledge management and expert systems authorities in the world, brings together over thirty articles contributed by the top researchers and practitioners to produce what seems destined to become the key reference for this emerging field. With it you will find: How to create a knowledge-sharing environment How senior executives can show tangible benefits using methods that value the intellectual capital-especially the "human capital" within the organization How knowledge management is not the same as information management How senior management commitment and involvement are essential to the success of a knowledge management system

In the recent years organization have faced with new challenges throughout the world. Together with globalization new markets have been opened and the existing markets have grown rapidly. Hence the need for knowledge has arisen very much. Organizations began to need more information about the markets, about their competitor, and also about other effective factors, which would influence their functioning throughout the world market. The need for knowledge is not solely tied to this change but organizations in order to become more competitive need to make developments and learn the needs and expectations of their customers. So this need became the second motive in the organizational search of knowledge. From this need of the organizations for more knowledge and information the Knowledge Management has emerged. Nowadays many organizations regard knowledge and information as valuable assets of their organizations and apply programs within their organizations to organize the flow of knowledge. But organizations do not possess all the necessary tools to continue such programs and they get help from outer sources. These sources are mainly the firms that deal with developing the tools and technology necessary to search, identify, gather, categories, and deliver knowledge.

Path-breaking innovations are about instigating fundamental changes in people, organizations, communities, and economies. They are complex, continuous, and evolutionary processes that take considerable time, resources, and the efforts of many individuals and organizations to be accomplished successfully. Representing distinct departures from existing practices, they differ from other types of innovation, such as product extensions and incremental improvements. By examining path-breaking innovation processes through in-depth analysis of several large-scale initiatives around the world, the authors explore how profound changes in product, process, and service can be explained and managed, and consider the practical implications for scientific, organizational, institutional, and political leaders concerned with channeling innovation toward economic growth. In-depth analysis of science and technology initiatives at CERN-ATLAS, Airbus, and in stem cell research, the authors explore and illuminate how profound changes in product, process, and service can be explained and managed. Covering such issues as organizational culture, types of knowledge, and large-scale project management and resource distribution, the authors consider the practical implications of radical innovation for scientific, organizational, institutional, and political leaders concerned with channeling innovation toward economic growth.
