It also complements the many existing management books on strategy, technology, knowledge and systems while addressing a well-recognized and significant void. It draws from the emerging knowledge-flow theory to provide stable principles to build a practice of knowledge management. It also draws from diverse, real-world experience to provide operational applications of knowledge-flow principles in practice. This book builds upon theory but targets practice; it takes knowledge known only by a few researchers and shares it with many leaders and managers UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=http://services.igi-global.com/resolvedoi/resolve.aspx?doi=10.4018/978-1-59140-773-7 ER -
