This second volume of Research in Competence-Based Management (RCBM) continues
the launch of a long-awaited outlet for peer-reviewed research papers
contributing to advancement of competence-based management theory.
Each volume in RCBM will be focused on a key aspect of competence theory. The
focus in this volume on Managing Knowledge Assets and Organizational Learning
reflects the central importance of knowledge and learning in organizational
competence building, leveraging, and maintenance. Papers in this volume explore
the nature of learning dynamics in organizations, systematic approaches to
sustaining organizational learning processes, and organizational challenges in
managing knowledge flows internally and across the boundaries of an
organization. A set of papers also explores the management of existing
knowledge and the creation of new knowledge in a key learning arena - new
product development processes.
