Introduction

This comprehensive text introduces public management students and government and nonprofit administrators to the principles and practices of Knowledge Management.

Unique Focus

The first book to focus exclusively on knowledge management techniques in government agencies, it covers such important concepts as collecting, categorizing, processing, distributing, and archiving critical organization data and information — and then converting and disseminating these resources to all who need to share in the organizational knowledge.

Style and Content

Written in an easy-to-read, non-technical style, the book includes a thorough review of the current literature in the field as well as a comprehensive presentation of Knowledge Management techniques.

Features

Extensive illustrations, models, checklists, and instructions lead readers through the steps involved in instituting KM programs in government and non-profit agencies.
