Recent research shows that collaboration and social networking can foster knowledge sharing and innovation by sparking new connections, ideas, and practices. Yet these informal networks are often misunderstood and poorly managed. Building on the groundbreaking, bestselling first edition of the Knowledge Management Handbook, this new edition focuses on collaboration and social networking. Topics covered include implementing a knowledge sharing culture, embedding knowledge management activities to encourage collaboration, developing a knowledge retention strategy, applying social network analysis to map knowledge flows, and using systems engineering approaches for collaboration and social networking.
