This book provides an insightful overview of the main issues integrating learning and Knowledge Management. It offers a rich resource of case examples that highlight Knowledge Management in practice.
The text explores and defines learning and Knowledge Management concepts, and deals with the elements that play an important part in determining implementation success in the organization. The chapters present a managerially oriented discussion of the following key areas:

* The role of processes in managing knowledge
* The behavioural side of Knowledge Management
* Leadership reflexes for knowledge management success
* The key features of Information Technology required for Knowledge Management
* The future of Knowledge Management as part of organization management.

Knowledge management and learning have come to the forefront as ways of building enduring competitive success. Whilst this recognition has gained widespread acceptance there still remains a relative paucity in the book that represents the subject issue in a practical yet rigorous manner. Many competing texts tackle the subject either theoretically or in a piecemeal way, focusing upon narrow perspectives. This text adopts a holistic perspective in addressing the wide range of issues that face organisations embarking on the knowledge management journey.The following case studies are among those included to show how various organisations have tackled this issue from a broad perspective:Rover Cars, Rank Xerox, British Airways, Hewlett Packard, Ford Motors, ICLElida, Faberge.
