They are thought to be 'nice to have' but not essential. In this ground-breaking book, Patrick Lambe shows how they play an integral role in helping organizations coordinate and communicate effectively. Through a series of case studies, he demonstrates the range of ways in which taxonomies can help organizations to leverage and articulate their knowledge. A step-by-step guide in the book to running a taxonomy project is full of practical advice for knowledge managers and business owners aliChandos knowledge management series.Knowledge managementKnowledge management.658.4038Lambe Patrick1960-1104577MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910790982303321Organising knowledge3674105UNINA
