Finally, I've found a book that demystifies knowledge management, offering a perspective that doesn't originate from one of America's ivory towers. It's refreshing and enlightening to read about international companies operating within the global marketspace and how they've met the challenges posed by the Knowledge Economy.

Unlike other KM books I've read, Value-Based Knowledge Management showed me how to recognize "meaningful" knowledge and why it is more important for my company to possess only that type of knowledge. I now have a totally different attitude toward the knowledge of my customers, my associates and my fellow employees.

The companion CD-ROMs are invaluable. The Value Enhancer is helping me to assess my company's abilities and increase its competencies. The tutorial CD-ROM keeps me on track and prepares me for the next bend in the road.

Thanks, Amazon, for offering within your titles a truly integrated approach to knowledge management.

The most intriguing aspect of this book is that it is more than a book. The first CD-ROM gives a fast-paced overview of the entire book and the second, The Value Enhancer, lets you measure your company's ability to bring knowledge to value. What an eye-opener!

This is the first book I have seen on this subject who looked at knowledge management not from a technical viewpoint but rather from a ' value' based viewpoint. What does it mean, don't look at all information categories but only and the information types which might add value. The CD's are a perfect tool to support you. A perfect management toolkit!

I had to read this book for my HRM course at Nyenrode, mr. Tissen is my prof. This book cannot be compared to any studybook I've ever used before. Mr Tissen introduces a lot of difficult terms wich I couldn't directly understand and that are rather vage. His vision of the futere isn't of any use to me, and I think that the autors don't have to try to beat Nostradamus because they can't.
