The business world of today is rapidly changing. These changes are being brought about by various factors. Globalization of the economy, technological advancements, and changing world demographics are just three of the many issues modern organizations must face. In order to deal with the changing environment, businesses must continually create and re-evaluate the policies and structure, which guide the organization. The following thesis makes the case that, one of the most important ingredients to competitive success is the quality of the human resources of the organization. The ability to learn, retain, and utilize knowledge is the reason the human resource is so valuable. Additionally, the thesis promotes the following idea: while the characteristics of the individual employees makes the difference between success and failure for the entire organization, the characteristics of the management is of greater importance. In order to create "knowledge workers", organizations need "knowledge managers". It is important to note; this analysis deals mostly with American or Western culture. The ideas presented here may or may not readily apply to, or be accepted by, all cultures or the global community. Additionally, the focus of this work is creating and improving on existing conditions. No analysis has been made regarding maintenance of the condition once established.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .W35 2002 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
