From Belarus with the management of knowledge

I hasten to show off new acquisition -. ' Knowledge Management. Terminological dictionary -directory '. The interest of this book is no doubt, both for professionals in the field of knowledge management, and for those who have discovered the first MZ.

First, the authors of A. A. Kandybovich and A. In. Mudrik - Belarusian scientists, we can say almost countrymen:). Previously, no work, publications and other information about the theory and practice of knowledge management in this country, I have not seen. By the way, they have interesting biography - they are military officers in the reserve. Having behind him eleven years of service this gives me confidence. As far as I know neither American nor European, neither Asian specialists in the field of Knowledge Management were no such. The only thing I remember in the fifth part of the European guidelines on good practice in the field of knowledge management (. European Guide to good practice in Knowledge Management - Part 5: KM Terminology. ), Published. European Committee for Standardization. , Is a brief guide to terms used in the Guide.

Second, the Belarusians have carried out an attempt to summarize virtually all knowledge of this area of management and related fields in the form of concepts and their definitions. And this attempt proved to be quite successful. If you pick up a quick guide, we can conclude that the decent work. Definitions of terms used in the management of knowledge are given, clearly and without ambiguity, which Western writers have sinned.

The only thing that is not entirely clear why the authors provide an English version of the term is translated from the Russian (!). For example, on page 153 we find the term ' intellectual capital '. In the English practice of knowledge management uses long-established term -. Intellectual Capital. Belarusians reason given as the English equivalent. Brain Capital. That is not quite right. It should be remembered that almost all terms as management and self direction are formed in the English-speaking environment, therefore it was necessary to leave the ' native ' terms.

In addition, the list of references can serve as a source of interesting information about publications on the topic of knowledge management in the world. Despite the fact that some of the work I already know I found a lot of new.

Of course, since this is the first handbook of its kind he had not intended to be exclusive. The terminology of knowledge management has not completely well established. But the fact that such a book is in itself remarkable! . must have. At least get the basic information to further their MH - activities you can.
