Im Umfeld globaler und sich schnell wandelnder Märkte kommt der gezielten Nutzung des Unternehmenswissens eine wachsende Bedeutung zu. Um in diesem Umfeld zu bestehen und wettbewerbsfähig zu agieren, müssen sich insbesondere kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) der Herausforderung stellen, innovative Produkte flexibel und kostengünstig anzubieten.

Dieses Buch liefert Ideen und Hinweise für die Gestaltung von Einführungsprozessen des Wissensmanagement in Unternehmen und zeigt anhand von 15 Unternehmensbeispielen, wie mit einem überschaubaren Aufwand Wissensmanagement im Unternehmen eingeführt werden kann, um zentrale Geschäftsprozesse zu optimieren. Erfahrungen und Erfolge, die in der Praxis erzielt wurden, werden verständlich und praxisorientiert beschrieben und vermitteln dem Leser, wie schließlich im Zusammenspiel von Mensch, Organisation und Technik der Produktionsfaktor Wissen innerhalb eines Unternehmens besser genutzt werden kann.

Interoperability: the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort from the user is a key issue in manufacturing and industrial enterprise generally. It is fundamental to the production of goods and services quickly and at low cost at the same time as maintaining levels of quality and customisation.

Composed of over 90 papers, Enterprise Interoperability II ranges from academic research through case studies to industrial and administrative experience of interoperability. The international nature of the authorship continues to broaden. Many of the papers have examples and illustrations calculated to deepen understanding and generate new ideas.

A concise reference to the state of the art in software interoperability, Enterprise Interoperability II will be of great value to engineers and computer scientists working in manufacturing and other process industries and to software engineers and electronic and manufacturing engineers working in the academic environment.

Composed of over 50 papers, Enterprise Interoperability III ranges from academic research through case studies to industrial and administrative experience of interoperability. The international nature of the authorship continues to broaden. Many of the papers have examples and illustrations calculated to deepen understanding and generate new ideas.

A concise reference to the state of theart in systems interoperability, EnterpriseInteroperability VII will be of great value to engineers and computerscientists working in manufacturing and other process industries and tosoftware engineers and electronic and manufacturing engineers working in theacademic environment. Furthermore, it shows how knowledge of the meaning withininformation and the use to which it will be put have to be held in commonbetween enterprises for consistent and efficient inter-enterprise networks.

Over 30 papers, ranging from academicresearch through case studies to industrial and administrative experience ofinteroperability show how, in a scenario of globalised markets, where thecapacity to cooperate with other organizations efficiently is essential inorder to remain economically, socially and environmentally cost-effective, themost innovative digitized and networked enterprises ensure that their systems and applications are ableto interoperate across heterogeneous collaborative networks of independent organizations.This goal of interoperability is essential, not only from the perspective ofthe individual enterprise but also in the business structures that are nowemerging, such as complex collaborating networks of suppliers and customers,virtual enterprises, interconnected organisations or extended enterprises, aswell as in mergers and acquisitions. Establishing efficient and relevantcollaborative situations requires the management of interoperability from adynamic point of view: a relevant and efficient collaboration of organizations mayrequire adaptation to remain in line with changing objectives, evolvingresources, unexpected events, etc. Many of the papers contained in this, the eighthvolume of Proceedings of the I-ESAConferences have examples and illustrations calculated to deepenunderstanding and generate new ideas.
