| Summary |
What does a successful knowledge management practitioner do?Evolutionary Learning in Strategy-Project Systems explores the gap between the theory and practice of knowledge management in organizations and analyzes how learning happens and how knowledge is created. The authors take a practitioner-driven approach, one that unites organizational strategy with the learning of organizational lessons-the kind of knowledge management that enhances project performance and ultimately business success. |
