Helen N. Rothberg and G. Scott Erickson

"In this book, Helen Rothberg and Scott Erickson demonstrate how corporations can combine their competitive intelligence gathering with their internal knowledge management gathering into one dynamic system. Using actual cases from the corporate world, the authors show how the strategic use of this combined system generates measurable competitive advantage. Topics covered include how to develop your strategy for sharing and gathering knowledge across the value chain and global electronic networks, and just as importantly how to protect your knowledge once you obtain it."--BOOK JACKET.

"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

The questions and answers in [this book] originated in 1994 as a monthly newspaper column entitled Management Matters, which continues to be published six years and over 100 questions later.... The questions in this book reflect concerns ... from practitioners, business owners, managers, and employees. They also reflect trends ... in the rapidly changing HRM environment, particularly in strategic and global human resource management. Each question in this book is listed alphabetically by a guide word or phrase that indicates the major issue. The question pages include key words and concepts, discussion points, and a suggested reference. [This book] is designed as a supplemental text in an introductory human resource management course or graduate HRM seminar. [The authors] have used the questions in the book to help [their] undergraduate and graduate students focus on practical applications of theoretical approaches to HRM, which are the standard elements of a general text. -Pref
