"In Creating The Discipline of Knowledge Management, Dr. Michael Stankosky, founder of the first doctoral program in knowledge management, sets out to provide a rationale and solid research basis for establishing Knowledge Management as an academic discipline. While it is widely known that knowledge is the driver of our knowledge economy, Knowledge Management does not yet have the legitimacy that only rigorous academic research can provide. This book lays out the argument for KM as a separate academic discipline, with its own body of knowledge (theoretical constructs), guiding principles, and professional society."--BOOK JACKET

Philip Cooke

"This book traces the theoretical explanation for clusters back to the work of classical economists and their more modern disciples who saw economic development as a process involving serious imbalances in the exploitation of resources. First, natural resource endowments explained the formation of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century industrial districts. Today geographical concentrations of scientific and creative knowledge are the key resource. But these require a support system, ranging from major injections of basis research funding, to varieties of financial investment and management, and specialist incubators for economic value to be realized. These are also specialized forms of knowledge that contribute to a serious imbalance in the distribution of economic opportunity."--Jacket.
