| "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, Stankosky 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 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
In Creating the Discipline of Knowledge Management, Dr. Michael Stankosky, founder of the first doctoral program in knowledge management, sets out to provide a rationale and solid research basis for establishing Knowledge Management as an academic discipline. While it is widely known that knowledge is the driver of our knowledge economy, Knowledge Management does not yet have the legitimacy that only rigorous academic research can provide. This book lays out the argument for KM as a separate academic discipline, with its own body of knowledge (theoretical constructs), guiding principles, and professional society.
Michael Stankosky, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering and Co-founder/Co-director of the Institute for Knowledge Management, George Washington University, Washington, DC.
