Description


Today, more and more academics and practitioners are seeking to understand how organizations manage their knowledge and intellectual capital in order to obtain more effective competitive advantages. Taking into account these issues, and in order to answer the concerns expressed by these professionals, this book looks to help them understand and implement the effective transfer and management of knowledge strategies in their organizations.
It looks for ways to understand and perceive how organizational human resources, individually and as a team, conceptualize, invent, adapt, define and use this knowledge and intellectual capital.
The book has a special interest in research on important issues that transcend the boundaries of single academic subjects and managerial functions.
