ISBN: 1422160688

This influential book establishes the enduring vocabulary and concepts in the burgeoning field of knowledge management. It serves as the hands-on resource of choice for companies that recognize knowledge as the only sustainable source of competitive advantage going forward. Drawing from their work with more than thirty knowledge-rich firms, Davenport and Prusak--experienced consultants with a track record of success--examine how all types of companies can effectively understand, analyze, measure, and manage their intellectual assets, turning corporate wisdom into market value. They categorize knowledge work into four sequential activities--accessing, generating, embedding, and transferring--and look at the key skills, techniques, and processes of each. While they present a practical approach to cataloging and storing knowledge so that employees can easily leverage it throughout the firm, the authors caution readers on the limits of communications and information technology in managing intellectual capital.

La ventaja competitiva de las empresas no radica en sus recursos materiales, energéticos, financieros, ni tecnológicos, sino en el nivel de formación y gestión de sus recursos humanos. Ya Bill Gates decía a finales del siglo XX que una empresa gestiona, esencialmente, datos, documentos y el trabajo de las personas, y que por ello su finalidad es mejorar la manera en que las personas colaboran entre ellas. En esta nueva edición se reiteran los conceptos, tecnologías y enfoque de la edición anterior, y se describe el rol de la tecnología en la Gestión del Recurso Humano (GRH), el capital intelectual en la empresa, la gestión por competencias, la selección de personal, los planes de carrera, la organización que aprende (learning organization) y la compensación laboral. Se incluye un nuevo capítulo sobre evaluación del desempeño laboral y su relación con el desempeño estratégico empresarial bajo el modelo conceptual de análisis GRH-DPC (Diagnóstico, Planificación y Control). Este texto sirve de referencia para estudiantes de pregrado y posgrado en Administración de Empresas, Psicología y Trabajo Social, y sobre todo para directivos y profesionales que tienen fe en el mejoramiento humano.
