Summary and commentary
520 "The information context of the modern organization is
rapidly evolving in the face of intense global
competition. Information technologies, including databases,
new telecommunications systems, and software for
synthesizing information, make a vast array of information
available to an ever expanding number of organizational
members. Management's exclusive control over knowledge is
steadily declining, in part because of the downsizing of
organizations and the decline of the number of layers in
an organizational hierarchy. These trends, as well as
issues surrounding the Web 2.0 and social networking, mean
that it is increasingly important that we understand how
informal knowledge networks impact the generation,
capturing, storing, dissemination, and application of
knowledge. This innovative book provides a thorough
analysis of knowledge networks, focusing on how
relationships contribute to the creation of knowledge, its
distribution within organizations, how it is diffused and
transferred, and how people find it and share it
collaboratively"--Provided by publisher
