Rationale
The Strategios site development started in 1995 which has since been maintained by Colin Clarke-Hill and Ismo Kuhanen for the use by their students and all other members of the scholarly community on the Internet. This page is under continuous development and new material will be added on a regular basis.
Strategios is a self directed study support resource for business, management and research students and instructors studying or teaching in Finntrack client institutions or our current workplaces. Some of the material still remains free. Apart from the learning material available on 'public domain' on the Internet, Strategios also contains our own lectures and other material that we have been created or 'acquired' from our colleagues and made available for your personal use only.

Knowledge Transfer
Knowledge Transfer in the fields of Organisational development and organisational learning, is the practical problem of getting a packet of knowledge from one part of the organization to another (or all other) parts of the organization. It is considered to be more than just a communications problem. If it were merely that, then a memorandum, an e-mail or a meeting would accomplish the knowledge transfer. Knowledge transfer is more complex because (1) knowledge resides in organisational members, tools, tasks, and their sub networks (Argote & Ingram 2000) and (2) much knowledge in organizations is tacit or hard to articulate (Nonaka & Takeuchi 1995). Argote & Ingram (1999) define knowledge transfer as "the process through which one unit (e.g., group, department, or division) is affected by the experience of another" (p 151). They further point out the transfer of organisational knowledge (i.e., routine or best practices) can be observed through changes in the knowledge or performance of recipient units. The transfer of organisational knowledge, such as best practices, can be quite difficult to achieve (Szulanski 1996). |

Three related concepts are "knowledge utilization," "research utilization" and "implementation," which are used in the health sciences to describe the process of bringing a new idea, practice or technology into consistent and appropriate use in a clinical setting (Greenhalgh et al 2004). The study of knowledge utilization / implementation (KU/I) is a direct outgrowth of the movement toward evidence-based medicine and research concluding that health care practices with demonstrated efficacy are not consistently used in practice settings.

Strategic Thinking for the New Economy From the acclaimed MIT Sloan Management Review comes this compendium of cutting-edge thinking about corporate strategy. Focusing on strategic imperatives of the new economy, leading thinkers in the field present their views in four general areas: strategy and value creation; flexibility in a volatile world; strategy making in uncertain times; and strategies for growth in fast-paced markets. Strategic Thinking for the New Economy shows that designing a successful strategy is a never-ending quest - and that effective strategic thinking is a process of continuously asking questions and thinking through issues in a creative way. Included among the book's many expert contributor are Christopher A. Bartlett, Henry Mintzberg, Richard T. Pascale and C. K. Prahalad. Check the availability and buy your books from our Bookshop.
