The authors claim that, while information is a necessary precursor to knowledge, it is not sufficient in itself for improving business performance; pragmatic knowledge must be used to gain competitive advantage and is the result of individuals' developing a deeper understanding of how (and why) things work best in practice. The process of creating pragmatic knowledge transforms key lessons from systems thinking, total quality management, and organization learning into a powerful new business strategy. Tha authors draw on case examples and a decade of original cross-cultural research about knowledge leadership. The book systematically outlines a user-friendly strategy for becoming a knowledge leader and for building high-performing, knowledge-based organizations..
