Abstract

Knowledge management in practice is the overall objective of this chapter. Within this context, the authors provide the readers an overview and guidance on building a knowledge management system, organizational culture, and cultural shifts within the context of knowledge management. This includes the introduction of various models that have been introduced in business and academic literature pertaining to structure, culture, and technology. The chapter will conclude by bringing all the concepts together from Chaps. 1 to 4 through a deep dive into invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship. These three concepts will be inserted into processes of knowledge and strategic knowledge arbitrage and serendipity (SKARSE) components, processes, and strategies.
