05 Readings
|
This issue is focused on methods and solutions that could help in improving the way your organization accumulates knowledge, as a way to increase control on your own core processes, while reducing the use of external experts to where they can add value.
The suggested readings listed in this section usually will not include business books, as plenty of other sources already cover that area.
Instead, we will suggest books that while seemingly irrelevant to the task, could actually give you a different perspective on the subject at hand.
For this issue, we suggest the following:
- Ron Robin, The Barbed-Wire College, Reeducating German Pows in the United States During
World War II, Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, ISBN 0-691-03700-0
