Information and
Communication Technologies for Knowledge Management
Maier, R., University of
Regensburg, Germany
Information and knowledge
have fundamentally transformed the way business and social institutions work. Knowledge
management promises concepts and instruments that help organizations to provide an
environment supportive of knowledge generation, sharing and application. Information and
communication technology (ICT) is often regarded as the enabler for the effective and
especially the efficient implementation of knowledge management. The book presents an
almost encyclopedic treatise of the many important facets, concepts and theories that have
influenced knowledge management and integrates them into a general knowledge management
framework consisting of strategy, organization, systems and economics. The book also
contains the state of practice of knowledge management on the basis of a comprehensive
empirical study, and concludes with four scenarios of the successful application of ICT in
knowledge management initiatives.
