Introduction:
Knowledge management comprises a range of practices used by organizations to identify, create, represent and share knowledge for reuse, awareness and learning. Social media is changing the face of our personal interactions. Social media is a set of applications that allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content in collaborative and community setting. Product Innovation refers to the practice of leveraging social computing principles and technologies to support the product development process, innovation and business goals, programs and resources. The interlinking relationship among innovation, knowledge management and social media is seen as a way that may allow knowledge management to collect new ideas and measure their acceptance. It depends on the ability of individuals and groups to progressively develop and radically innovate functioning processes, products and services. Thus, effectively embedding these digital building blocks into the existing knowledge management and innovation processes and capabilities presents tremendous opportunities for companies.
The aim of this book is to explore the linkages of social media and knowledge management within the organizations as a catalyst for enhancing product innovation and enhance competitiveness...For details please see
