Abstract
During the past two years the DaimlerChrysler Corporate University has been responsible for organizing Corporate Knowledge Management initiatives. [1] The present chapter focuses on practical issues regarding the organization, support, and impact of such initiatives. It intends to provide interested readers with implementation ideas that may be easily adapted to their respective business environments. In particular, the chapter tells you why the Corporate University took charge of Knowledge Management initiatives, how it supports them, and what comprises the university’s value proposition. The chapter ends with a vision for the university’s future role in a business environment that is characterized by the integration of Knowledge Management with E-learning and E-business activities.
