Managing Know-Who Based Companies: A Multinetworked Approach to Knowledge and Innovation Management (Edward Elgar Monographs) [Hardcover]

Sigvald J. Harryson (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 1840643145 | ISBN-13: 978-1840643145 | Publication Date: June 2000

In this text Dr Harryson develops the principle of "know-who" -first propounded and practised by Japanese companies but now increasingly championed by multinationals. He uses case studies from companies such as Kodak, Ericsson, IBM and Philips to highlight the networking patterns deployed by these companies and ultimately to confirm or deny the relevance of "know-who" management. The book explains why, in a world where knowledge and intellectual value is widely acknowledged as crucial, companies can achieve both innovation and productivity through "know-who".
