It features numerous case studies and vignettes describing practical applications of KM initiatives at leading firms and government organizations, including details such as system architecture. Written by two recognized researchers in the field, the book makes extensive use of the latest developments and examples from KM. There is an online Instructor's Manual with PowerPoint materials, solutions to end-of-chapter exercises, and test questions that is available to adoptors.
