    This paper looks at how service professionals in the audit and consulting industry manage their social capital, i.e. their networks at a critical career stage: When they become project managers. We identify three prototypes of networkers, the game-players, the trade-off makers and the low-keys. The paper characterizes each prototype and confirms the descriptive validity by demonstrating how these prototypes are correlated to other network variables. Writing a chapter on networking and dedicating it to this anniversary volume for Gilbert seems like a perfect match. When you have read the below chapter you will most certainly come to the conclusion that Gilbert Probst is part of the rare species of Master Networkers who never hesitated to make his rich social capital available to his doctoral students!

    Une étude comparative concernant les parcours scolaires et professionnels des dirigeants en Allemagne et en France révèle des différences fondamentales qui reflètent à leur tour des différences de conception de la fonction de direction d’entreprise entre les deux pays. À l’est du Rhin, on met l’accent sur les compétences techniques et sur des variables de personnalité, tandis qu’à l’ouest, on se concentre sur le rang de sortie des grandes écoles les plus prestigieuses. Pourtant, dans les deux cas, les dirigeants sont issus de l’élite sociale du pays.

    (France: Editions Village Mondial, Les Echos, Pearson Education, 2007) ;
    Bensaou, Ben
    Les cadres savent intuitivement que les réseaux sont importants pour le succès de leurs idées et projets, ainsi que pour leur progression de carrière. Cependant, quelques-uns semblent avoir un talent naturel pour développer des réseaux, quand d'autres ont du mal à construire un "capital social". Cet article aborde le rôle du développement de réseaux dans les organisations et la gestion des carrières.

    Writing learning stories: The case of Telcotech
    (Trento: University of Trento e-books, 2005)
    Countless publications on the future of management education and on qualifications needed at the workplace emphasize the need for learning from experience, (Smith, 2000). While practice can be viewed as a rich source of new knowledge and learning about management (Kim, 1999), the learners’ active participation in learning is essential to capture the learnings occurring in job assignments (Ulrich/Greenfield, 1995). Experience based learning Experience-based learning aims at learning from these work-based experiences to prevent the repetition of specific failures and to help generalize learnings from specific challenging situations (Smith/Morphey, 1994). By pushing the application of knowledge towards the solution of actual workplace problems in which learners can see the results of their decisions (Fulmer, 1997), experience-based learning occurs within the context of an application and not in an abstract, decontextualized way (Renkl/Mandl/Gruber, 1997). Learning then becomes problem-oriented, providing developmental outcomes that can be applied in the work setting (Bunning, 1996.). Additionally, the active involvement of the learner in the learning process increases the likelihood that the learning will be retained as mere participation in management tasks and action is not enough for management learning to occur (McKenna, 1999).

    Leveraging knowledge on a global basis is a major challenge of big multinarionals like Siemens. Induced by significant changes within the international telecommunication business, Siemens Information & Communication Networks (ICN) faced a shift in competitive pressures that stressed the necessity for knowledge-based competition. The ShareNet case describes how Siemens ICN succeeded in its transformation from mainly a product seller to that of a global solution provider. It outlines the role ShareNet, a global knowledge management network, played within this transformation and discusses the critical success factors involved.

    In a sales and service environment, business is mostly driven by employees at the customer interface. By virtue of their intensive contact with the customer, sales representatives and service technicians are not only one of the major sources of knowledge and experience in these organizations, but also a source ofinformation about future customer needs. This case study considers the effect of a dynamic market environment on the opportunities for implementing a knowledge management program. After a short introduction to the organizational context, we discuss the market shift that created a need for the systematic management of knowledge. The study then gives an overview of a knowledge management initiative - its approach, relevant factors, and some of the underlying design principles. A detailed description of KN Service Knowledge - an initiative for generating organizationalknowledge for technical services - is provided, illustrating the activities involved in redesigning the work processes, IT architecture and collaboration with other departments. The human dimension is discussed, including the design of an incentive system used to bring about the necessary changes in behavior. For the innovative and customer-oriented conduct that resulted from the repositioned linking of Knowledge Management and service, the knowledge networking initiative "KN Service Knowledge" was awarded the 2001 Service Management Award.
