Opis

This book deals with the processes by which organizations create, use, and retain knowledge on a day-to-day basis. It provides a critical review of the concepts, debates, and assumptions underpinning existing perspectives on organizational knowledge, and suggests a new vocabulary for understanding knowledge-oriented phenomena in organizations. The book invites scholars, managers, and practitioners to reflect upon the repertoire of knowledge they possess and yet cannot articulate.

Recenzje

As a whole the book represents an important contribution by highlighting key issues theoretically, empirically and methodologically.
