Synopses & Reviews
Knowledge Networks: Innovations Through Communities of Practice draws on the
experience of people who have worked with CoPs in the real world and to
present their combined wisdom in a form that is accessible to a wide
audience. CoPs are examined from a practical, rather than a purely academic
point of view. The book also examines the benefits that CoPs can bring to
an organization, provides a number of case studies, lessons learned and sets
of guidelines. It also looks at virtual CoPs and to the future by asking
'what next?' This book is a resource for all people who work with CoPs -
both in academia and in the real world.
