Transforming e-Knowledge: A Revolution in the Sharing of Knowledge

The book covers trends and issues of digital age knowledge management, knowledge standards, infrastructure, business strategies, and leadership imperatives. It portrays the global phenomenon of e-Knowledge and the acceleration of our capacity to acquire, assimilate, and exchange knowledge. The information available online includes a searchable glossary, bibliography, case studies, and other resources.

From the introduction... "This book traces the three primary indicators of e-knowledge transformation:

1. Internet technologies, interoperability standards, and emerging e-knowledge repositories and marketplaces;
2. enterprise infrastructures, processes, and knowledge cultures; and
3. cascading cycles of reinvention of best practices, business models and strategies for e-knowledge.

It concludes with practical, "how-to" guidance on accelerating your enterprise's readiness for e-knowledge in order to mobilize leaders and practitioners around the concept of e-knowledge, and develop an enterprise knowledge strategy explicitly driving business plans."
