Knowledge Ethics For The Knowledge Economy

by Benjamin Anyacho, Cynthia Hilsinger, Denise Bedford, Jelina Haines, Malgorzata Zieba e Norman Mooradian

~~112,63€~~ 101,37€ 10% OFF

 An extensive legal, moral, and ethical infrastructure supports business transactions and economic values in the industrial economy. This infrastructure is grounded in the concept of tangible property, its production and consumption. Today we have a deeper understanding of the nature of knowledge and its unique economic properties and behaviours. We now understand that a reinterpretation is needed to ensure that healthy and trusted economic knowledge markets exist.Knowledge Ethics for the Knowledge Economy explores whether an extension or a redefinition of the legal, moral, and ethical infrastructure is needed. The authors review the fundamental assumptions of tangible property markets and transactions and test their applicability to intangible assets.Given the new properties and principles of the knowledge economy, there is a need to re-examine these properties and principles. This guide provides a proactive and forward-looking perspective for managers to adapt and shape to suit their work environments.

Strategic Intelligence For The Knowledge Economy

by Alexeis Garcia-Perez, Brian Mcbreen, Cory Cannon, Denise Bedford, Liz Herman, Michael Molina e Pawan Handa

~~112,63€~~ 101,37€ 10% OFF

 In 2025 the shift from an industrial to a knowledge economy is underway. The shift has introduced changes in our essential economic assumptions and models in how markets behave and the nature and sources of capital. The shift is affecting the way we do business and the ways we manage our organizations and operations. Over the past two hundred years, we have developed and perfected methods and tactics to help us analyze and cope with the economic environment. These established methods and tactics are no longer sufficient. The knowledge economy requires a new foundation of knowledge capital. To be strategic and intelligent the old analytical methods just adapt, and new methods are needed. The latest volume of Working Methods for Knowledge Management speaks to doing intelligence in the dynamic, chaotic and continuously changing environment of the 21st century. It is predicated on the understanding that every intelligence situation or dilemma is unique. It is predicated on the rapidly evolving shift in management and the changing nature and structures of organizations. The authors consider the changing nature of markets, economic transactions, and competition in the knowledge economy. What can we learn from exploring the new economic environment to design a new approach to strategic intelligence?The authors make a case for strategic intelligence grounded in knowledge capital assets and present a conceptual model and framework for managers and practitioners to consider in designing a new approach. The conceptual model considers eight critical factors when designing a new approach with the text providing in-depth explanation of these factors. By adapting the existing tools and developing new tools to transform this critical practice for the knowledge economy, strategic intelligence offers an indispensable guide for anyone working in the knowledge and business management spaces.

Knowledge Of Communities

by Alexeis Garcia-Perez, Denise Bedford, John S. Edwards, Leni Oman, Nancy Meyer e Pat Kerrigan

~~106,00€~~ 95,40€ 10% OFF

 The knowledge sciences field has long recognized the importance of communities of practice to the flow of knowledge and situational learning. However, the literature and research has focused mainly on communities in formal organizational contexts. This constraint has limited research and exploration and exposed only a small portion of the knowledge of communities of practice. Focusing only on organizational communities of practice further restricts what we have learned about the full range of knowledge capabilities. ?The Knowledge of Communities provides an inclusive and comprehensive conceptual framework for understanding the spectrum of communities of practice and their relationship to the development of knowledge capital. Presenting a core standpoint that incorporates the variant perspectives of community processes from social sciences, psychology, behavioral sciences, communication and economics, the authors review existing research, identifying areas where additional work is needed, and present the results as a practical field guide for managers that can be utilized for analyzing any community of practice.

Knowledge Translation

by Alexeis Garcia-Perez, Constantin Bratianu, Denise Bedford e Francesca Dal Mas

~~112,63€~~ 101,37€ 10% OFF

 <p>Knowledge translation is a topic that originated in the field of health sciences where the need to move research to practice is of critical importance. In parallel, the field of knowledge sciences has developed a research base around knowledge transfer, knowledge sharing, knowledge exchange, knowledge articulation and knowledge absorption. This book brings these two important tracks together and synthesizes the fragmented literatures. It also draws from essential work on human communication and considers how these concepts are affected by the knowledge economy.</p><p>The book raises awareness of the critical role that knowledge translation plays in every academic field of study, and in everyday life. To demonstrate this role, the book presents a grounding model that readers can use to better ‘see’ their knowledge translation challenges and opportunities. Drawing on the author team’s experience in a range of domains and sectors, the book explores knowledge translation in the fields of manufacturing, infectious diseases, automated call centers, regulatory development and compliance, financial lending, transportation safety, and doctor-patient discourse.</p>

Cultures Of Knowledge Organizations - Knowledge, Learning, Collaboration (Klc)

by Denise Bedford e Wioleta Kucharska

112,63€ + 10% CARD

 <p>Organizations are increasingly aware of the role that culture plays in implementing strategies. The adage ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast everyday’ shows how important it is to understand, monitor, and calibrate company culture. This means shaping the behaviour of leaders, managers, teams, and individuals. It means integrating assessment and behaviours into performance and communication strategies. Cultures - at all levels - are shifting in today’s society. It is important to understand which factors are having which effects.</p><p><em>The Cultures of Knowledge Organizations</em> presents a new perspective that treats organizational culture not as a static conceptual model but as a dynamic, complex and adaptive system. The authors consider how de facto organizational business cultures must function in a hyperdynamic knowledge economy. Today’s managers need real practical guidance on how to see ‘culture’, how to assess it, how to design a culture that supports business goals, and how to help the workforce understand their own role in shaping culture. This research acts as a map for 21st Century.</p>

Knowledge Networks

by Denise Bedford e Thomas W. Sanchez

104,66€ + 10% CARD

 <p>Networks are essential to mobility - mobility of people, goods, services, communications, and knowledge. The 21st century knowledge economy is dependent upon knowledge mobility and flows.</p><p>Knowledge networks build upon, but are more complex than, traditional networks. While the network science literature is a starting point, it is not sufficient for modelling or managing knowledge networks. Knowledge networks pay greater attention to nodes as knowledge sources, links as relationships, and the knowledge content of messages. <em>Knowledge Networks</em> describes the role of networks in the knowledge economy, explains network structures and behaviors, walks the reader through the design and setup of knowledge network analyses, and offers a step by step methodology for conducting a knowledge network analysis. Bedford and Sanchez bridge the academic and business perspective of networks. This book illustrates the role of human and non-human actors in these evolving networks, and describes the emerging nature of networks of machines and things.</p><p><em>Knowledge Networks</em> is essential reading for business managers, knowledge managers, network analysts, consultants, and researchers in knowledge transfer and translation.</p>
