Editors Dan Holtshouse and Rudy Ruggles bring together 14 experts on knowledge management, including Peter Drucker, Alan Webber of Fast Company magazine and Stephen Denning of The World Bank. The best thing - and worst thing - about this compendium is that it is an anthology. Positively, it serves the unique purpose of offering an introduction to different views. If something piques your interest, you can investigate it further. But, unfortunately, you may be disappointed by a problem endemic to anthologies: lack of in-depth analysis. The book’s four sections focus on the role of knowledge individually and strategically (in two theoretical chapters) and on knowledge’s role on an organizational and economic level (in two more practical discussions). This is not a "how to" book about leveraging intellectual capital. Instead, getAbstract recommends it as a brief history of the evolution of knowledge in the context of the working world.
