Review: KM in Business is written in such a manner that it is understandable for even a computer novice such as myself. The applications for small Mom & Pop operations as well as large firms makes it a must have for any business owner. It deserves a place in business classes at college or high school. As an owner of two retail businesses, I find it invaluable.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: This book was my first introduction to Knowledge Management. Truthfully, I could not be more pleased! I'm a Director of Sales for a leading insurance company and am responsible for 250 offices across the Northeast U.S. Our organization has struggled for many years with the very issues addressed in this text and I found the insight gained to be invaluable. It is easy to see that the authors, Groff and Jones, are experienced management professionals.

Review: This is a Knowledge Management Book that covers the foundational components of KM and is laid out in a textbook format. This is a real find for any instructor wishing to add Knowledge Management discussion to an existing business course, or is looking for a text for a KM course. I believe this book would fill either role, and at 29.95 using it as a supplemental text is not unreasonable. Another plus for this book is the instructor's guide that is available from the publisher. As someone that has taught in the college and business environments, I believe this book is a strong resource for both. I've also searched the web for this title and found that Connecticut Southern State University has adopted this book for a Library Sciences course.
