About this ebook

The concepts of knowledge management and knowledge-intensive work have been developing for quite a while as one of the most critical components to organizational success. Despite its importance across the globe, there has never been a truly international resource to address the issues, trends, and theories involved in this area of study.

The Handbook of Research on Knowledge-Intensive Organizations offers an international collection of studies on knowledge-intensive organizations with insight into organizational realities as varied as universities, consulting agencies, corporations, and high-tech start-ups. As one of the first comprehensive books to cover the topics vitally important for the whole theory of organization and management, this Handbook of Research delivers a state-of-the-art view on this timely issue.
