  • Researchers and practitioners in economics, business, and other fields address issues that arise with the recognition that knowledge management is a culturally contingent activity, and that organizations in various parts of the world adopt knowledge management mechanisms that prevail in other institutions in their culture. Case studies come from post-socialist countries, Asia, and South America.

Description: Knowledge, as intellectual capital in organizations, is one of the most valuable resources in the global economy; yet knowledge management research has been largely contained both within organizational boundaries and from the perspective of the West (in particular the United States). Here, the views of a diverse range of well-known academic researchers, industry leaders, and public policy experts have been brought together to show how knowledge and knowledge management perspectives vary across different cultures, in different contexts, using different processes for different purposes.
