In an effort to integrate the thought processes of prominent scholars in the field of Knowledge Management (KM), editors I V Malhan and Shivarama Rao K have selected contributions from these scholars and encapsulated them in a single volume. Compiled primarily to make information professionals and knowledge workers aware of the growing diversity and importance of KM, the comprehensive coverage provided in Perspectives on Knowledge Management will contribute to better understanding of the evolving and significant field of KM.
Consisting of five sections divided into 28 chapters, each essay was selected based on careful review of its suitability to the theme, as well as the experience and contributions to the field of KM by its author. Chapters cover a wide range of areas, such as changing management through KM, bringing green revolution with knowledge revolution, KM for good governance in developing countries, KM to improve business performance, and KM in corporate organizations. Library and information science professionals, as well as business professionals, information and communications technology professionals, agriculture extension departments, and others interested in management of information and knowledge resources will find this work extremely useful.
