h ersetzt keine kohärente Wissensmanagement-Strategie. Diese muss stets im Einzelfall definiert und umgesetzt werden. Das Handbuch schlägt eine Schrittfolge, eine Methodik und Instrumente vor, die einen Überblick über die relevanten Fragen bieten. Es muss aber nicht in jedem Fall in dieser Weise umgesetzt werden. Das Handbuch empfiehlt sich, als Einstieg und Ergänzung für einen systematischen, durch geeignete Experten begleiteten Veränderungsprozess. Das Handbuch basiert auf Erfahrungen der GTZ und ihrer Partner. Es geht aus der Einführungsveranstaltung für neue Mitarbeiter der GTZ hervor. Die Inhalte wurden für die Fortbildung von Fach- und Führungskräften der Partnerinstitutionen angepasst. Regionale Expertennetzwerke entwickeln es laufend weiter."

ow can the lessons of good practice and innovation and the results of research benefit the poor? The book offers in-depth discussion about how the communication process works - or doesn't work. It questions and challenges: who are the stakeholders; what are the best vehicles for transferring knowledge; why are local networks and intermediaries so important; what can hinder the communication process; and how may these gaps and barriers be overcome? Moreover, the book challenges traditional participatory methods of relating to the needs of poor urban communities and proposes instead the application of new communication and knowledge management methods currently used in business management."

n, by increasing the flow of information and its speed of availability and by bypassing the editorial process, can produce a less informed, rather than a better informed, public opinion, and may create tension due to hasty decisions. There will be technical problems of frequency allocation, compatibility of standards, and control of programs and legal problems of copyright and protection against commercial exploitation. Major artistic and political events will be viewed world-wide, simultaneously, reducing parochialism and xenophobia. Communication satellites will aid education, especially in developing countries and facilitate interlibrary exchange of information. They should also create a mutual flow of information between the developed and the developing nations. Information from the latter should cover normal developments in the news, not just crisis situations. An appendix lists participants. This document is based upon papers submitted to the UNESCO meeting of experts on the use of space communication by the mass media (Paris, December 6-10, 1965)." (https://eric.ed.gov)
