Description
Although the study of knowledge is as old as human history, it has only been recognized in the last two decades as a crucial factor of organizational success. Knowledge management has gained much attention from both academics and practitioners; however, more research is needed as this discipline is still in its infancy.
The Handbook of Research on Implementing Knowledge Management Strategy in the Public Sector provides innovative insights and clear direction for the effective implementation of knowledge management initiatives and programs in organizations, specifically within the public sector. It serves to increase the awareness of knowledge management in a systematic and holistic way for both individuals and organizations. Centering on topics such as project management, smart technologies, and support sharing, this book is designed for researchers, academicians, business professionals, government officials, policymakers, consultants, managers, and practitioners.
