Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is the idea of the 'different' company. A company that after more than 100 years is now turning its back on production based on the division of work. In his introduction, Götz Hamann, journalist for Die Zeit, describes the authors as engaged in an 'attack on capitalism'. Expert articles by such renowned authors as Andrew McAfee, Don Tapscott and David Weinberger are augmented by examples from Nokia, SAP and Vodafone in the quest to discover how Web 2.0 technologies can best be used as business tools, and how companies will need to change in order to survive as Enterprise 2.0 organizations. Not forgetting the question of whether it's worth it for company management. After all, Enterprise 2.0 necessarily implies that decision-makers must also 'let go' and give up their control. Yet are we really ready for this?" CIO "This book can (...) certainly be of help in illuminating a fundamental change taking place in the business world." ChangeX Online Journal for Change in Society and the Economy "The changeover to new ways of thinking in the enterprise requires everyone to undergo a multifaceted learning process." Associated Press "The Ideas Man (David Weinberger) is once again proposing a revolutionary thesis: purge your company of as much control as possible."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is a crucial topic in the study of economics, business, technology, sociology, and engineering. The questions asked in research nowadays focus not on it why innovation is important, but how to innovate and how innovation processes can be managed. Furthermore the discussion on innovation is about how to maintain strong economic growth in an era that is increasingly being defined by the globalisation of competition, major financial and demographic challenges. Recently the economy continues to upset the market and recession tempts to cut back on the investments in research and development in the organizations. But even now in spite of crisis and its impacts on the economy seems to be the perfect time to increase firms' innovation efforts. The increasing competition processes and the development of Web 2.0 technologies (soon Web 3.0) are challenging the business to build more interactive relationship between the real-time market participants. The companies must nowadays find out how to achieve a competitive advantage for future. This paper presents the concept of Open Innovation, which can help public and private institutions achieve better performance or business success and at last win the competition with market rivals.
Download or read book Web 2 0 Knowledge Technologies and the Enterprise written by Paul Jackson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst enterprise technology departments have been steadily building their information and knowledge management portfolios, the Internet has generated new sets of tools and capabilities which provide opportunities and challenges for improving and enriching knowledge work. This book fills the gap between strategy and technology by focussing upon the functional capabilities of Web 2.0 in corporate environments and matching these to specific types of information requirement and behaviour. It takes a resource based view of the firm: why and how can the knowledge capabilities and information assets of organisations be better leveraged using Web 2.0 tools?Identifying the underlying benefits requires the use of frameworks beyond profitability and cost control. Some of these perspectives are not in the usual business vocabulary, but when applied, demonstrate the role that can be played by Web 2.0, how to manage towards these and how to assess success. Transactive memory systems, social uncertainty, identity theory, network dynamics, complexity theory, organisational memory and the demographics of inter- generational change are not part of normal business parlance but can be used to clarify Web 2.0 application and potentiality. - Written by a well-respected practitioner and academic - Draws on the author's practical experience as a technology developer, designer, senior manager and researcher - Provides approaches to understanding and tackling real-world problems

Download or read book Social Knowledge Management in Action written by Remko Helms and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge management (KM) is about managing the lifecycle of knowledge consisting of creating, storing, sharing and applying knowledge. Two main approaches towards KM are codification and personalization. The first focuses on capturing knowledge using technology and the latter on the process of socializing for sharing and creating knowledge. Social media are becoming very popular as individuals and also organizations learn how to use it. The primary applications of social media in a business context are marketing and recruitment. But there is also a huge potential for knowledge management in these organizations. For example, wikis can be used to collect organizational knowledge and social networking tools, which leads to exchanging new ideas and innovation. The interesting part of social media is that, by using them, one immediately starts to generate content that can be useful for the organization. Hence, they naturally combine the codification and personalisation approaches to KM. This book aims to provide an overview of new and innovative applications of social media and to report challenges that need to be solved. One example is the watering down of knowledge as a result of the use of organizational social media (Von Krogh, 2012).

Download or read book Sustainable Frontiers written by Wayne Visser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Frontiers throws down the gauntlet to business to step up and be the catalyst for a sustainable future. It presents eight keys to unlocking transformational change – through leadership, enterprise, innovation, transparency, engagement, responsibility, integration and future-fitness. Far from being another tame review of corporate social responsibility and sustainable business initiatives, the book dispels the myths of sustainability and challenges us to let go of old systems that are failing to deliver economic, social and environmental transformation. Sustainable Frontiers gets to the heart of why the sustainability and CSR movements have failed in the past and offers a new view of how sustainable business practices can shape-shift to make a genuine difference inside and outside organisations. The book gathers together experiences from across the globe and shows to the reader what can be achieved with the right vision and leadership. Expect to be challenged, engaged and inspired to join the revolution on the sustainable frontier.Making a successful transition to a more sustainable future depends on letting go. Sustainable Frontiers shows how we must find ways to let go of an industrial system that has served us well, but is no longer fit for purpose. How we will need to let go of old styles of leadership and out-dated models of business, high-impact lifestyles and selfish values. How we must learn to let go of cherished ideologies that are causing destruction and beliefs about ways to tackle problems that are failing to resolve crises.If we are to reach sustainable frontiers, it must begin with changing our collective minds - and only then will we change our collective behaviour. How we accomplish such a global mind-shift is the subject of Sustainable Frontiers. And it starts by admitting that those of us at the vanguard of the sustainability revolution also have to change. We will also have to let go of cherished beliefs and strategies that are not working - starting with the way we communicate our vital, life-saving mission.
