Regardless of industry, size and location, today’s agile and highly productive organizations require something, which is fundamentally different and that makes their operations streamlined, eliminates wastes and enables them to exceed their targets. Presently, business houses look at Knowledge Integration as the solution. Knowledge Integration is essentially a process of exchange, creation and morally appropriate application of knowledge within a complex system of communication among researchers and users. The concept of Knowledge Integration focuses on identifying strategies and obstacles that influence implementation and acquisition of knowledge by integration. It is not merely categorizing or organizing files drawer, or computer disks. It is a combination of familiarity gained through experience and all these pillars of wisdoms blended into one. Knowledge Integration (KI) is treated as a double-barreled productivity booster for highly agile and productivity-concerned organizations. This book is an effort to present the path-breaking concept of knowledge integration and discusses a few of its applications that demonstrate the need and importance of using KI for corporate excellence. Further, some of the emerging frameworks of KI are also discussed. The book is divided into three broad sections, namely- Concepts, Frameworks and Applications.
