Reviews
"Michael Stankosky has been, and continues to be, the single strongest driving force behind the evolution and development of knowledge management as a legitimate and respected academic discipline and pursuit. For years to come, this collection will be viewed as a seminal
work of knowledge management scholarship."
--Hugh McKellar, Editor-in-Chief, KMWorld Magazine
"This well crafted manuscript is like
a gyroscope – grounded in values of the Knowledge Economy moving toward a vision of more sustainable
enterprises, nation and world. It
is a timely, refreshing and fundamental gift to the knowledge profession. With compelling doctoral research,
Stankosky provides a solid
foundation for the principles, practices and policies for real-time knowledge innovation – the management competence of
the decade.?
- Debra M. Amidon, Founder and CEO of ENTOVATION International Ltd and author of The Innovation SuperHighway
"An important collection
of research findings that will act as a catalyst in the process of moving doctrine into concepts for practical application."
- Dave
Britt, VP/GM, Knowledge Solutions Business Sector
"Creating the Discipline of Knowledge Management is an excellent reference for the
KM practitioner, reflecting the diversity, both in depth and breadth, of this emerging discipline. The diversity revealed within the
book supports the ongoing need for a unified KM ontology to frame this critical discipline. The research results additionally provide
academic legitimacy for the successes we have been able to achieve with knowledge awareness at General Motors."
-- Steven Wieneke, GM
Technical Fellow
Global Technical Memory, General Motors Corporation
"The core principles of Knowledge Management are an integral part
of every corporate culture. Daily we perform aspects of knowledge management without realizing the source, benefits, or fully
understanding
the underlying process. With this book, Michael illustrates an easy to use framework to link elements from multiple sources into a cohesive
and workable enterprise strategy.
-- Wil Vargas, Director of Knowledge Management,
United Way of America
"This grouping of dissertations
surrounding the important KM concepts promulgated by George Washington University, and in particular Professor
Michael Stankosky, captures
and illuminates the early academic connections as the field emerged, and continues to emerge. This book is the first work
of its kind,
and as such professionals who take the time to navigate its academic approach will discover worthwhile nuggets that point to the
continuing
growth and importance of the field. I salute these brave architects of a new discipline!"
-- Alex Bennet, Co-Founder, Mountain Quest
Institute; Former Chief Knowledge Officer for the US Department of Navy
"Inside the knowledge box - Dr Stankosky and his team help us
understand the main dimensions of the knowledge construct and the need to manage critical
relationships to ensure the success of the
KM enterprise and maximize business value."
-- Bruno A. Laporte, Manager, Knowledge and Operations, WorldBank
"Knowledge has always
been the primary driving force of business and government. Today the speed of business demands that knowledge be managed as a vital resource
in our highly-networked, global economy.
In this book Dr. Stankosky has assembled a dozen important research works that advance the scientific
underpinning of Knowledge Management,
and argue forcefully for its treatment as a discipline that fuses technical and management sciences.
An outstanding contribution to this
critical field!"
--Dave Chesebrough, President, AFEI
