Product Description
In the new millennium, the competence of most organizations will depend on innovative deployment of new technologies for effectively managing knowledge networks for organizational performance. Many such "virtual" organizations using information and knowledge as their fundamental bases are redefining the "reality" of the traditional "brick-and-mortar" economy. In the process, they are also posing challenges and opportunities by redefining traditional thinking about industries, organizations, competition, products, services, technologies, people and economy.

This review is from: Knowledge Management and Virtual Organizations (Hardcover)

Malhotra neatly sums up many of the myths and trends of this mysterious discipline. He echoes the thoughts and captures the business spirit of futurists, industrialists and risk takers.

His advanced vocabulary may be hard for some readers to follow, but I have found that discussing the book's ideas in my work group stimulates productive exchanges that lead to clearer understanding of our business strategy and context.
