In the Knowledge Society, the enterprise increasingly develops its activities in a planetary space. The hierarchical Enterprise locked up on its local borders is transformed into an Extended Enterprise without borders, opened and adaptable. In this context, the actors are confronted with new...

In a knowledge management initiative, one of the main issues is to identify and locate which knowledge to capitalize on. To deal with this issue, a General Analysis Methodology so called GAMETH® has been developed. In this article, we describe the postulates, the guiding principles, and the...

Under the influence of globalization,and the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)that modify radically our relationship with space and time, the hierarchical company locked up on its local borders becomes an Extended Company, without borders, opened and adaptable. In this...
