We are happy to announce the publication of the 10th book of the IAKM Springer Book Series entitled: "Understanding Knowledge-Intensive Business Services Identification, Systematization, and Characterization of Knowledge Flows" written by our member, prof. Malgorzata Zieba.

This book contributes to an improved understanding of knowledge-intensive business services and knowledge management issues. It offers a complex overview of literature devoted to these topics and introduces the concept of ‘knowledge flows’, which constitutes a missing link in the previous knowledge management theories. The book provides a detailed analysis of knowledge flows, with their types, relations and factors influencing them. It offers a novel approach to understand the aspects of knowledge and its management not only inside the organization, but also outside, in its environment.

Our IAKM Springer Series is indexed in Scopus database.
