As our society becomes more complicated, so do the unfortunate events which occur. The importance of developing systems and applications for these crises is critical. The response and management of a crisis is paramount and thus requires innovative research to better understand how to improve our systems. Crisis Response and Management and Emerging Information Systems: Critical Applications provides a comprehensive, cross disciplinary look at the advancing and understanding of organizational, technical, human, and cognitive issues associated with the use of information systems in responding and managing crises of all kinds. This book presents the issues that drive the technologies, processes, methodologies, techniques, and practices used to implement information systems in a variety of ways and in the multi-faceted modern environment that we find ourselves in today. The advancement of these critical applications will benefit from this publication as it provides valuable information for future crisis situations.

Due to the recent advances in computers and technology as a whole, Knowledge Management has taken on a whole new importance. In our society we need KM to ensure that we apply knowledge correctly to differing situations and effectively use that information at the correct times. Global Aspects and Cultural Perspectives on Knowledge Management: Emerging Dimensions presents new technologies, approaches, issues, solutions, and cases that can help an organization implement a knowledge management (KM) initiative or provide a knowledge base for the practitioner/academic researcher. This book presents the issues that drive the technologies, processes, methodologies, techniques, and practices used to implement KM in a variety of ways and in the multi-faceted modern environment that we find ourselves in today.

Knowledge management captures the right knowledge, to the right user, who in turn uses the knowledge to improve organizational or individual performance to increase effectiveness. Strategies for Knowledge Management Success: Exploring Organizational Efficacy collects and presents key research articles focused on identifying, defining, and measuring accomplishment in knowledge management. A significant collection of the latest international findings within the field, this book provides a strong reference for students, researchers, and practitioners involved with organizational knowledge management.

Since knowledge systems and knowledge management programs are put in place to monitor workers in the performance of their jobs; knowledge is, therefore, an essential component in the achievement of goals and production of economic benefit of an organization. Dynamic Models for Knowledge-Driven Organizations presents a widespread collection of research on the understanding of the managerial, technical and human issues associated with the use of knowledge in organizations while bearing in mind the design, development, and maintenance of useful knowledge management systems. This reference is essential for the tools and information needed to effectively implement knowledge management systems and would benefit researchers and practitioners alike.

Using Social and Information Technologies for Disaster and Crisis Management highlights examples of disaster situations in recent years in which social and information technologies were useful in distributing and receiving information updates. This comprehensive collection brings together research for practitioners and researchers interested in the uses of information technology in crisis management.

With the advent of electronic databases, information technologies, and the Internet, organizations now more than ever have easy access to all the knowledge they need to conduct their affairs. Identifying the useful information in all that data, however, can pose a challenge. Knowledge Discovery, Transfer, and Management in the Information Age brings together the latest empirical research in knowledge management practices and information retrieval strategies to assist organizations in effectively and efficiently utilizing the data at their disposal. Academics, managers, researchers, and professionals within the field of knowledge management will make use of this book to increase their understanding of best practices in the manipulation of information resources.

Within the past ten years, tremendous innovations have been brought forth in information technology and knowledge management. Some of the key technical innovations have included the introduction of social media, artificial intelligence, as well as improved network connectivity and capacity. Effective Knowledge Management Systems in Modern Society is a critical scholarly resource that presents an overview of how technical, social, and process changes are impacting the way knowledge systems are being designed. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as knowledge engineering, cognitive ergonomics, and interorganizational knowledge, this book is geared toward consultants, practitioners, and researchers seeking current research on how new approaches in knowledge management impact information technology professionals.
