This book will give you a functional view of what knowledge management is and how to implement its processes in your company or organization. It's written very well and not a boring read. It has a lot of interesting new ways to think about how to change corporate or organizational culture in order to effectively compete in a global business climate. This book can be useful for people that work in a business with four employees or a business with thousands.

Kimiz Dalkir has penned a densely rich tome, with every page and chapter brimming with charts, models, definitions, and applications relating to knowledge management. In most respects, this is a text book - mostly at home as a companion to an introductory (or even survey course) on KM; yet the references are useful enough to be practical in developing executive presentations and planning for KM implementations. Equally useful as a reference, it belongs on the shelf of every Learning Organization.

I was asked to buy this book for a class, and have found it really interesting and compelling. It's not often one says this for a textbook, but it is true. Because of this book, and this class, I have decided to do my entire dissertation on an aspect of knowledge management theory. Pretty cool...

This is one of several KW texts that apply practice to the theory. This is not as dated as it seems, and I keep referring back to it.

I received the book within 2-3 days and it came exactly as promised. I was also sent a confirmation from the supplier a few hours after I made the purchase. Very professional
