Knowledge Work and Knowledge-Intensive Firms

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book addresses the concept of knowledge, and its use in the contexts of work and organizations. It provides a critical understanding of current approaches to knowledge management, organization and the `knowledge economy`. The authordescribes a number of cases of `knowledge intensive firms`, including IT firms, management consultancy firms, advertising agencies and life science companies. He emphasizes the ambiguity of knowledge in the input, process, and output of professional work, and suggests that we should be careful in assuming too much about the nature, role, and effects of `knowledge` in business life. Instead, we should understand the constructed nature of knowledge and scrutinize knowledge claims carefully. Alvesson looks at several aspects of management and working life, including human resource management issues, client control and the regulation of identity. Rhetoric, symbolism, image, the politics of knowledge claims, and identity are all shown to… [detailed...]

Knowledge Works: Managing Intellectual Capital at Toshiba (Japan Business and Economics Series)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book describes why, for the past twenty-five years, Japanese productivity has been growing more rapidly than productivity in the U.S. Unlike other books on the subject of the Japanese success in manufacturing, it looks at what actually happens in factories. The author brings his experience of working at the Yanagicho Works of the Toshiba Corporation, in Kawasaki City. Like so many Japanese factories, this one is highly productive, efficient, and flexible. While the factory is ordinary looking on theoutside, its workers are anything but ordinary as they constantly strive to improve the way they work and the quality of the products they produce. The key to this is the continuous creation and application of knowledge throughout the factory, from workers on the shop floor, to research and development engineers, to top management. Fruin explains how Japanese culture and religion prepare workers for their role in this process of creating and disseminating knowledge. us applies a kind of [detailed...]

Knowledge and Competitive Advantage : The Coevolution of Firms, Technology, and National Institutions (Cambridge Studies in the Emergence of Global Enterprise)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEntrepreneurs, managers, and policy makers must make decisions about a future that is inherently uncertain. Since the only rational guide for the future is the past, analysis of previous episodes in industrial development can shape informed decisions about what the future will hold. Historical scholarship that seeks to uncover systematically the causal processes transforming industries is thus of vital importance to the executives and managers shaping business policy today. With this in mind, Johann Peter Murmann compares the development of the synthetic dye industry in Great Britain, Germany, and the United States through the lenses of evolutionary theory. The rise of this industry constitutes an important chapter in business, economic, and technological history because synthetic dyes, invented in 1856, were the first scientific discovery quickly to give rise to a new industry. Just as with contemporary high tech industries, the synthetic dye business faced… [detailed...]

Thomas Sowell
Knowledge and Decisions

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: With a new preface by the author, this reissue of Thomas Sowell`s classic study of decision making updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Anointed . Sowell, one of America`s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making -- a gap that threatens our very freedom because actual knowledge gets replaced by assumptions based on an abstract and elitist social vision of what ought to be. Knowledge and Decisions , a winner of the 1980 Law and Economics Center Prize, was heralded as a `landmark work` and selected for this prize `because of its cogent contribution to our understanding of the differences between the market process and the process of government.` In announcing the award, the center acclaimed Sowell, whose `contribution to our understanding of the… [detailed...]

Description: Donald McCloskey`s previous books, The Rhetoric of Economics and If You`re So Smart, aimed to bring economics back into the wider conversation of the day. In Knowledge and Persuasion in Economics he carries the conversation further, into the seminars of philosophers. His message is that economics is a science, but a human science. It is properly mathematical, but literary too. His book is highly unusual: a work of technical economics that can be read by anyone, a witty guide to the ins and outs of economic philosophy expressed in plain English. [detailed...]

Description: The first edition of `Knowledge and Social Imagery` profoundly challenged and divided students of philosophy, sociology, and the history of science when it was published in 1976. David Bloor`s radical claim was that the sciences, even `hard sciences` such as physics and mathematics, are as dependent on social factors such as conventions, interests, traditions, and prestige as they are on observable physical phenomena or abstract logical necessity. In this second edition, Bloor responds in a substantial new Afterword to the heated and often vituperative debates engendered by his book. Формат: 15 см x 22,5 см. [detailed...]

Knowledge and the Wealth Of Nations: A Story of Economic Discovery

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A stimulating and inviting tour of modern economics centered on the story of one of its most important breakthroughs. In 1980, the twenty-four-year-old graduate student Paul Romer tackled one of the oldest puzzles in economics. Eight years later he solved it. This book tells the story of what has come to be called the new growth theory: the paradox identified by Adam Smith more than two hundred years earlier, its disappearance and occasional resurfacing in the nineteenth century, the development of new technical tools in the twentieth century, and finally the student who could see further than his teachers. Fascinating in its own right, new growth theory helps to explain dominant first-mover firms like IBM or Microsoft, underscores the value of intellectual property, and provides essential advice to those concerned with the expansion of the economy. Like James Gleick`s Chaos or Brian Greene`s The Elegant Universe , this revealing book takes us to the… [detailed...]

Description: In 1996, the World Bank President, James Wolfensohn, declared that his organization would henceforth be `the knowledge bank.` This statement marks the beginning in earnest of a new discourse of knowledge-based aid, which has spread rapidly across the development field. This book is the first detailed attempt to analyze this new discourse and practice. Through an examination of four agencies--the World Bank, the British Department for International Development, the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency--the book explores what this new approach to aid means in both theory and practice. It argues that too much of the emphasis of knowledge-based aid has been on developing capacity within agencies rather than addressing the expressed needs of Southern `partners.` Moreover, it questions whether knowledge-based aid leads to greater agency certainty about what constitutes good development.

Although people in organizations clearly rely on experience and other forms of implicit knowledge for most of their actions, little attention has been given to ways of eliciting and holding on to such knowledge. In a time and environment where business rationale is increasingly based on knowledge rather than tangible assets, this becomes essential.

Description: Macroeconomics would not be what it is today without Edmund Phelps. This book assembles the field`s leading figures to highlight the continuing influence of his ideas from the past four decades. Addressing the most important current debates in macroeconomic theory, it focuses on the rates at which new technologies arise and information about markets is dispersed, information imperfections, and the heterogeneity of beliefs as determinants of an economy`s performance. The contributions, which represent a breadth of contemporary theoretical approaches, cover topics including the real effects of monetary disturbances, difficulties in expectations formation, structural factors in unemployment, and sources of technical progress. Based on an October 2001 conference honoring Phelps, this incomparable volume provides the most comprehensive and authoritative account in years of the present state of macroeconomics while also pointing to its future.
