By offering a clearcutconceptualisation of knowledge, it fills an important gap in theliterature on knowledge management.
Based on the authors' rational reconstruction of knowledgecoordination for knowledge management, this text identifiestechniques and conceptual tools to build systemic solutions toimprove on corporate operational efficacy.
Contrasts business strategies, and presents and discusses thetools to implement management systems based on each of thedifferent strategies. Among these tools, the authors discussontological engineering, communities of practice and an originalconceptual tool called Structure of Capability Providers.
Covers topics including:
* Intelligent Agents for Knowledge Modelling
* Artificial Intelligence
* Ontologies
* Managing Capabilities
* Assessing Knowledge Coordination
It will be highly popular with academic and industrialresearchers who need to understand the current thinking in researchof knowledge management. In addition it is aimed at seniorundergraduate and postgraduate students in computer science andInformation Technology and in particular researchers in knowledgeengineering, artificial intelligence and agent based systems.Management and business professionals and those dealing with ITsystems design and implementation will also find it useful.
