About the Book

Having passed though the first wave of knowledge management in organizations, we must now look how best to improve current practices. Current practices need to be improved due to discoveries of best practices of knowledge management and due to the changes in the competitive environment that call for re-alignment. Engaged Knowledge Management seeks to provide answers about how best to re-align knowledge management practices. The authors discuss topics ranging from strategic issues of control and coordination of knowledge programs, missing capabilities of knowledge management, and customer knowledge management, to operational necessities of creating knowledge markets and deploying knowledge management systems. This book is based on the author's involvement in a wide assortment of knowledge management endeavours from the perspectives of consultants, researchers, and implementers.

Review :
'Exactly what's needed to breathe new life into a field now dying for lack of a practical, results-oriented perspective. Desouza and Awazu show us how to capture the essence of good management - knowledge - while actively engaged in the nitty-gritty of complex organizations. You will be engaged by this book.' - Professor William E. Halal, School of Business, George Washington University, USA; Co-Director, Institute for Knowledge and Innovation 'Engaged Knowledge Management is a significant contribution because it unearths the missing links in knowledge management and offers solutions to make it work...This book offers both the know-how and show-how to make knowledge management pay off and how to give a competitive edge to corporations.' - Deependra Moitra, Associate Vice President & General Manager (Research), Infosys Technologies Limited, India 'Engaged Knowledge Management will be one of the most important books in your library. It is a wonderful compendium of the critical issues related to knowledge management and will clearly be labeled as a 'must have' for all academics and practitioners that work in this field...All in all, the book is comprehensive and well written. A fine reference for the KM novice and expert.' - Dr. Nick Bontis, Associate Professor, DeGroote Business School, McMaster University; Director, Institute for Intellectual Capital Research, Canada; Associate Editor, Journal of Intellectual Capital
