Managing Knowledge (Institute of Management Diploma S.) - Softcover

Managing Knowledge assembles a consensus of views on how best to prepare for knowledge-based competition. In today's highly competitive business environment where access to finance, materials and machines is global, the knowledge resource is less easily accessible, but when fully exploited it can deliver significant competitive advantage.

This book will equip today's managers with the ability to use knowledge productively in tomorrow's organization.

Managing Knowledge is designed to provide the underpinning knowledge and understanding required for any competency-based course. It is based upon the MCI's new occupational standards for Management NVQs and SVQs at Levels 4 & 5. It is also particularly suitable for managers on Certificate and Diploma in Management programmes, including those accredited by the IM and BTEC.

Presents comprehensive selection of views on how best to prepare for knowledge-based competition

Competing organizations today have access to the same global sources of finance, materials and machines and to a vast amount of information. Knowledge, however, is a less common resource which, when available, can bring significant competitive advantage, allowing companies to respond, develop, and improve in times of rapid change. Knowledge of how to work together through questioning and dialogue is essential to allow ideas to develop and be expressed constructively. This book assembles a consensus of views on how best to prepare for knowledge-based competition. It describes techniques, illustrates trends, refers to practical examples, and comments on the implications for all types of business.
