This book brings together the research of a number of scholars in the field of knowledge creation and imparts a sense of order to the field. The chapters share three characteristics: they are all grounded in extensive qualitative and/or quantitative research; they all go beyond the mere description of the knowledge-creation process and offer both theoretical and strategic implications; they share a view of knowledge creation and knowledge transfer as delicate processes, necessitating particular forms of support from managers.
Review
"Fourteen papers, originating at a conference held in Honolulu in December 1996, reveal the richness and diversity of knowledge-creation research, as well as identify common grounds that would lead to the emergence of a more field."–Journal of Economic Literature
"In Knowledge Emergence, the editors have taken the efforts of prominent researchers in the field of knowledge creation and crafted a text that provides interested readers with a rich array of the perspectives in this emerging field of study. More important, this book takes these diverse works and imparts a sense of order to the field by allowing the respective authors to share their research efforts in the field of knowledge creation. . . . The book provides the interested reader, academic researcher, and organization manager valuable insights on how to grapple with the issue of knowledge creation."–Journal of Economic Issues
