About the Book

This insightful book explores the evolution, expansion, and growing significance of Knowledge Management (KM) in contemporary organizations. As knowledge continues to be recognized as a critical strategic asset, the book examines why Knowledge Management remains one of the most influential and enduring disciplines in the fields of business, information science, and organizational development.

The book discusses the expanding scope of KM and its integration with a variety of related disciplines. It highlights the emergence of new dimensions of knowledge management, including the management of contextual and extra-organizational knowledge, and examines its convergence with areas such as content management, project management, competitive intelligence, environmental scanning, and knowledge auditing. The text also explores how KM has evolved into a multidisciplinary framework that supports innovation, decision-making, organizational learning, and strategic planning.

Through comprehensive discussions and practical insights, the book demonstrates how organizations can effectively leverage knowledge resources to improve performance, enhance competitiveness, and adapt to rapidly changing environments. It is a valuable resource for librarians, information professionals, researchers, managers, educators, and students interested in the theory and practice of Knowledge Management.
