Topics discussed include: missing capabilities of knowledge management, knowledge management in strategic alliances, customer knowledge management, knowledge markets, and knowledge management systems, among others.

‘Exactly what’s needed to breathe new life into a field now dying for lack of a practical, results-oriented perspective. Desouza and Awazu show us how to capture the essence of good management – knowledge – while actively engaged in the nitty-gritty of complex organizations. You will be engaged by this book.’ – Professor William E. Halal, School of Business, George Washington University, USA; Co-Director, Institute for Knowledge and Innovation

‘Engaged Knowledge Management will be one of the most important books in your library. It is a wonderful compendium of the critical issues related to knowledge management and will clearly be labeled as a ‘must have’ for all academics and practitioners that work in this field…All in all, the book is comprehensive and well written. A fine reference for the KM novice and expert.’ – Dr. Nick Bontis, Associate Professor, DeGroote Business School, McMaster University; Director, Institute for Intellectual Capital Research, Canada; Associate Editor,Journal of Intellectual Capital
