Wisdom in the Knowledge Economy

It is difficult to argue that the accumulation of knowledge and technology has put the world in an unambiguously better position than it was in the past. Business is not getting any easier to do and major corporate collapses based on poor decisions, poor conduct, and poor judgement continue to occur. The problem, this book argues, is knowledge in the absence of sufficient wisdom. This book explains what wisdom is to a management and research audience. The authors reinvigorate its proper use in daily management and work practice, and promote it as an important research topic. To do this they develop criteria for identifying wisdom, and demonstrate how it can be applied across a number of important management areas including knowledge, innovation and creativity management, change management, strategy, leadership, international business, HRM, communication management, and management education.Rooney, David is the author of 'Wisdom in the Knowledge Economy' with ISBN 9780415445733 and ISBN 0415445736.
