Book Description
Is your talent strategy a unique competitive advantage? As competition for top talent increases, companies must recognize that decisions about talent and its organization can have a significant strategic impact.
Beyond HR shows how organizations can uncover distinctive talent contributions, strategically differentiate their HR practices and metrics, and more optimally allocate talent to create value. Illustrations from companies such as Disney, Boeing, and Corning describe a new decision science called Talentship, that reveals opportunities by identifying strategy pivot points and the optimal talent and organization decisions that address them.
A unique framework helps readers identify their own distinctive strategic pivot points and connect them to talent decisions, showing how today’s “HR” can evolve to fulfill its potential as a source of strategic advantage.

I prefer to order books online, but at a minimum, I would like to see the table of contents. If I cannot, then I will go to a bookstore where I can.

Book Description
An indispensable guide to the new techniques for managing knowledge workers
They are the idea people, whose brain power and experience have become more valuable to their companies than physical assets or products (think Microsoft). Today's knowledge workers are so in demand, especially in the high-tech sector, that many command large salaries and will job-hop at the drop of a hat. This hands-on guide gives managers practical, doable strategies for motivating and keeping knowledge workers without breaking the bank or sacrificing productivity and quality. It goes beyond the quick-fix of throwing money at the problem and offers realistic solutions for effectively managing the human side of intellectual capital.
- Features case studies, anecdotes, and examples of companies using the new managing techniques, including IBM, Deloitte & Touche, and Transport Canada
Customer Reviews:
A sound 'primer'.......2000-06-14
An easy to read, simple description of the basics of people management in knowledge organisations. It brings together well established principles and practices and puts them into a 'knowledge' context. Could be useful for managers in the early stages of movement from a 'traditional' to a 'knowledge' mind-set.
Excellent practical guide to making kn. mgt. theory work........1999-08-15
A lot of the business books that I read offer theory that sounds promising, but that I have a hard time using in my real world. This book takes the theories of knowledge management and gives practical, usable ideas for how to make them work on the ground with today's generation of workers. There are even actual dialogues showing effective and ineffective ways of dealing with situations that ring very true (sometimes uncomfortably so). The author clearly knows her field and has a breadth of real-world experience behind her...and a sense of humour to boot! (That's a breath of fresh air in my business book library.) I found this book well-organized, a pleasure to read and full of practical wisdom. I heartily recommend it.
This useful book is a "must read" for managers........1999-08-12
This is an excellent, useful book. It provides practical, down-to-earth applications of knowledge management concepts to the real world of the manager. It is obvious that the author has solid management experience and can speak with authority on what works and what doesn't. Fortunately, it is not a dry, academic treatise. It is, rather, a humourous and highly readable blend of theory and practice which would appeal to senior managers who want to learn how to create the conditions for high productivity from well-educated workers.
No new thoughts.......1999-08-01
Ms. Horibe has written an easy read. Unfortunately, it is too simplistic and lacks any conceptual rigour. Her suggestions are trite and her writing is not original. She spends way too much space paraphrasing others and regurgitation the research and results of her colleagues.
This results in a text devoid of originality. I suggest you search for another text from an author who has more advanced thinking in the field of intellectual capital and knowledge management.
An excellent resource for the knowledge age........1999-04-05
Ms. Horibe has written an excellent resource for everyone who must manage or interact with knowledge workers in any field. This work specifically addresses how to achieve the best possible performance with a team whose skills, attitudes and motives are vastly different than in years past and which operates in a new and dynamic business environment. I highly recommend "Managing Knowledge Workers."

Book Description
Making Knowledge Common looks at how ordinary people in ordinary workplaces use literacy to make the global knowledge economy happen. It challenges established views of what "counts" as knowledge at work, of how ICT (information and communication technology) helps and hinders people sharing knowledge in global networks of production, and of how workplace education develops and promotes the literacy practices that connect global knowledge economies. This book must be read by any instructor who teaches in the area of literacy, and by every graduate student who follows the field.

Book Description
Over the past years, business schools have been experimenting with distance learning and online education. In many cases this new technology has not brought the anticipated results. Questions raised by online education can be linked to the fundamental problem of education and teaching, and more specifically to the models and philosophy of education and teaching.
Virtual Corporate Universities: A Matrix of Knowledge and Learning for the New Digital Dawn offers a source for new thoughts about those processes in view of the use of new technologies. Learning is considered as a key-strategic tool for new strategies, innovation, and significantly improving organizational effectiveness. The book blends the elements of knowledge management, as well as organizational and individual learning. The book is not just a treatment of technology, but a fusion of a novel dynamic learner (student)-driven learning concept, the management and creation of dynamic knowledge, and next-generation technologies to generic business, organizational and managerial processes, and the development of human capital. Obviously, the implications of online learning go far beyond the field of business as presented in this book.

Obsolete.......2006-02-28
I ordered this book for a class I'm taking, assuming Amazon would only be selling the most current edition. Turns out there is a 7th edition with the recent updates to Virginia real estate law making the 6th edition out of date. I had to return this book and buy the newer edition at the campus bookstore for a higher price because I couldn't wait for another shipment through the mail. Disappointed.
