All in book review
I have been reading Lilia Efimova's PhD thesis, and the second half is as good as the first. And just as familiar for long-time readers of her blog.
I have been reading Lilia Efimova's PhD thesis, Passion at Work: Blogging Practices of Knowledge Workers, and the words feel very familiar.
I'm a little behind the curve on this one, but I picked up and devoured Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, The Story of Success. Now, the question is, what do I do with this information?
"Supply Chain Management at Warp Speed" is another book in the growing supply of Theory of Constraints books. For people the know the oeurve, this book is an extension and update to Schragenheim & Dettmer's Manufacturing at Warp Speed. TOC experts will find this informative, but I am not sure those outside this circle will.
Patrick Lambe sent me a copy of his new book, "Organising Knowledge -- Taxonomies, Knowledge and Organisational Effectiveness," after I mentioned that I would love a chance to dive into the book. Given the title, how could I not be curious.
The book for which my wife has written a chapter, A Day in the Life: Career Options in Library and Information Science , is now available. And her chapter is excerpted on the information page online.
I read Bruce MacEwen fairly regularly for pieces like this one, "Do the Management Gurus Have Clothes?" I see a link to Theory of Constraints in his discussion.
Sarah Elkins has posted her review of Introduction to Knowledge Management : KM in Business. The book looks like it needs to be on my list.
My wife contributed a segment to "A Day in the Life: Career Options in Library and Information Science" to be published on 30 April 2007. Yipee!
I like coffee, so "Coffee: A Dark History" by Anthony Wild was a pretty sure bet as a gift. This book gave me lots of information to impress the people at my local coffee roaster as well as make sad about the "dark history" of the coffee trade that survives to this day.
A review of "Internet-Based Organizational Memory and Knowledge Management," which is a collection of articles based on a 1999 workshop, focused on internet technologies.
I know I am a little late to the game, but I just finished the very enjoyable The Innovator's Solution by Clayton Christensen and Michael Raynor. I particularly liked the no-nonsense tone of the book. And I see some connection to theory of constraints, once again.
"They Just Don't Get It! (Changing resistance into understanding)" by Leslie Yerkes and Randy Martin is a quick and entertaining read. It is written as a how-to manual, not unlike the top-seller "Who Moved My Cheese?"
A partial review of "Great Information Disasters'' from 1991. The book is a collection of "Twelve prime examples of how information mismanagement led to human misery, political misfortune and business failure."
A review of Andrew Hargadon's "How Breakthroughs Happen: The Surprising Truth About How Companies Innovate." I'd recommend this book for anyone interested in the general topic of innovation as well as for Hargadon's insights on how people interact and even a few comments about knowledge management.
