Knowledge-Driven Corporation: Complex Creative Destruction (Hc) (Lxm Leadership)

A volume in LMX Leadership: The Series
Series Editor George B. Graen, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Retired)
This book is about preparing our thinking, feeling, and acting for the rapidly expanding "knowledge
era." We discuss the following queries in the chapters. We begin with a discussion of what
an appropriate knowledge-driven corporation (KDC) is. Next, we explore a number of design
issues about this transformed charter company and present two examples of new knowledgedriven
corporations that are described in strategic and tactical terms. At this point, the questions
of management and leadership selections and development for the KDC are discussed in the
next two chapters. These are followed by two chapters discussing the "political side" of human
KDC in terms of "fit" or "no fit." Following this discussion of our frail interpersonal habits,
project teams' research shows how an orderly process of team leadership development unfolds
over the project life cycle. Finally, the last chapter discusses where we are concerning emergent response leadership in building real
knowledge-driven corporations. This book is dedicated to survival of the best of the best of our corporations in the knowledge era
through complex creative destruction.
