Another overview of study material which I had to read, this time for the Knowledge Management (KM) course. KM covers many subjects as knowledge sharing, social networks, social capital and communities of practice. More about these subjects and my views on them in later blogposts!
The book from Hislop offers an good overview of the KM field, it’s developments and a critical view on KM. Knowledge Management in Organizations: a critical introduction, Hislop D. (2005), Oxford University Press

Organizations are confronted with the challenge to manage their ‘intellectual capital’ such that they can improve their competitive value. Our teachers have formed a research group on “Knowledge Information and Networks” at KINresearch.nl to help organizations better understand how to manage knowledge.
