Knowledge: Living and Working with ItInspired by today's world of increasingly available knowledge and rapidly changing access to it, this book examines the challenges of decision making when knowledge expands faster than we can learn, analyzes how knowledge changes shape depending on who owns it, and reveals how knowledge disappears in its own volatility. Offering a truly comprehensive exploration of the topic, this guide also instructs how to generate, select, measure, manage, network, protect, sell, and respect knowledge. |
