The Knowledge Enterprise by J Friso den Hertog,Edward Huizenga Pdf

Price and quality alone are no longer sufficient to gain competitive advantage. It is high quality knowledge which provides the opportunities for adding exclusive value to products and services. At the same time, the development of knowledge is gaining momentum. Knowledge is becoming obsolete more quickly and becomes more complex. The danger of this development is that organizations will continue to play the same competitive game and are often unaware that they are lagging behind. This book provides organizations with a way to shift the knowledge ambition and realize it in practice. For this purpose, an intelligent business strategy is offered based on the experiences of seven market leaders in The Netherlands, combined with modern insights from the organizational theory. The authors devote much attention to the tools available to the knowledge enterprise, such as lateral structures, personnel management and information technology.

Enabling Enterprise Transformation by Nagy K. Hanna Pdf

Private enterprises in advanced economies have been learning to use information and communication technology (ICT) to innovate and transform their processes, products, services and business models, significantly improving productivity and competitiveness. Moreover, the ICT industry itself has become a major source of job creation and a contributor to economic growth and business transformation. A key question today is whether and how developing countries can learn to benefit from the ICT revolution, and what roles the government and private sector can play. Already, a number of developing countries have been inspired by the example of India and China, and are now seeking to jump on the outsourcing bandwagon. Nevertheless, with few exceptions in the developing world, little attention has been paid by policymakers and practitioners to invest systematically and proactively in ICT-enabled growth, poverty reduction and grassroots innovation. Most communities and small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries, for example, face multiple constraints to adopting and leveraging this general purpose technology, and lack the capabilities for maximizing its potential. In "Enabling Enterprise Transformation", Nagy Hanna draws on his rich experience of over 35 years at the World Bank and other aid agencies as a development strategist and ICT policy expert, the most current research, and best practices from around the world to provide practical tools for promoting economic and social transformation through ICT. He assesses various initiatives to develop and diffuse ICT, such as innovation funds, incubators, parks, public-private partnerships, and comprehensive promotion programs. He argues for the strategic options now open for developing countries to participate in ICT production, to deploy ICT to transform industries and services, and to leverage ICT as a new national infrastructure for improving the business environment and enhancing the competitiveness of the whole economy. The challenge for leaders in developing countries is to create such social and institutional dynamics for learning about ICT use and adaptation at many levels. Lessons gained so far from programs to build these social learning and innovation capabilities at the institutional and grassroots levels should be shared among developing countries, and a dialogue among business leaders, policymakers, development agencies, educational institutions, and the general citizenry must be advanced.

Creating Knowledge Enterprise by Professor Mohamed Zairi Pdf

The essence of any knowledge based enterprise is learning as a core activity. Knowledge enterprise is a sophisticated organisation that feeds from information and creates knowledge that enables it to function effectively, to support the decision making process and to enable employees to provide high quality contributions towards the end customer. If therefore knowledge is the feed stock for a modern knowledge based enterprise it is consequently important to understand the critical factors that drive knowledging capability and the creation of a seamless environment that feeds on information and that has the ability to replenish on a continuous basis. A learning organisation therefore is one that is capable of making sense out of new information and that is curious about raising standards and practices through the acquisition of knowledge and the adoption adaptation of best practices in order to suit its internal work environment but also in terms serving to the best effect its strategic intentions and competitive direction. The following are some of the essential requirements for creating a learning organisation or an organisation that can be considered as knowledge based. 1. The importance of creating an ambitious vision that inspires all the key stakeholders and in particular the employees within the organisation. This is an essential component that generates curiosity, interest, passion and a commitment to learn, grow, experiment and impact positively. 2. The role of senior management in enabling the organisation to grow through the active acquisition of new knowledge and the open flow of information in all quarters. 3. Understanding that the notion of change in its management is to create a healthy cell that feeds from new thinking and where the old thinking can be phased out. Change has to be accepted as a pre-cursor to growth and development and not as an impediment to progress and advancement. 4. Creating organisational systems that enable the free flow of information and the absorption capability of change externally and allowing synergy, inter-dependability and integration to happen without any impediments. 5. Creating sets of behaviours within the organisation that are based on role model and where no short cuts are allowed and the love for using fact based, information orientated and knowledge driven work practices. 6. Linking knowledge based practices and performance to measuring impact internally and externally and for creating capabilities and building a competitive advantage. 7. Allowing the organisation to be audited on a regular basis from the point of view of injecting change, maintaining the knowledge thirst and phasing out redundant practices and old information reservoirs. 8. Making learning individually orientated and allowing and encouraging employees for their learning not only in terms of providing value but also in terms of their own aspirations and intentions for growth and development. 9. Being proactive in scanning externally in search of practices that are superior and also in terms of building credibility and allowing the organisation to position itself at the competitive level through knowledge based impact.

Trends in Enterprise Knowledge Management by Imed Boughzala,Jean-Louis Ermine Pdf

Knowledge Management (KM) encompasses a wide range of tools and methods that are at the heart of the information and communication society and provide solutions that rely as much on organization as on technology. This title brings together contributions from authors from a range of countries who are recognized as leading figures in this field, both in an academic and a practical sense. It describes the strategic aspects of KM and defines the underlying principles in terms of management, life cycle, process, methods and tools involved in this discipline. Several approaches to the running of KM within organizations are then discussed. The influence of KM on the performance of a company is analyzed and guidelines are given on various KM approaches that can be used to achieve specific goals. Finally, several case studies of companies that have put KM at the heart of their organizational strategy are given to demonstrate how this approach has been put into practice. Given the practical approach taken by this book and the considerable advantages that a good handling of KM can bring to an organization, this title will be of great interest to those involved in this field.
