What is the Knowledge Interchange Online?
Through a combination of non-subscription and subscription services managers can access:
- The latest management knowledge from Cranfield School of Management faculty through book summaries, podcasts, videoed lectures, research articles and interviews
- Specially commissioned e-learning modules on essential topic areas
- The latest management knowledge from leading business thinkers and executives worldwide through getAbstract's resource of 4,500 book summaries
- 75,000 full text articles on key management topics from Emerald, plus industry case studies, interviews with leading industry figures and in-depth book reviews
- Executive summaries, expert interviews, hot topic briefings and editorial comment from Emerald Management First
- A suite of global business intelligence databases providing competitor and market information. We are the first business school to have negotiated access to these commercial databases for our executive graduate and development alumni.
Reflecting Cranfield's commitment to business relevance, the Knowledge Interchange Online is a dynamic service where, over time, the content and direction will be driven by the user community.
How to subscribe
Subscription is by an annual fee, paid as a corporate subscription for designated alumni of an executive development programme, or individually through premium membership of the Cranfield Management Association.
We are developing a wider package of subscription services that will be available to all managers and executives in Stage 2 of the Knowledge Interchange Online.
Background
The launch of the Knowledge Interchange Online marks a significant point in the growth and development of Cranfield Customised Executive Development (CCED) offering to organisational clients and individual alumni. The Knowledge Interchange Online forms part of a suite of services that CCED has developed to help clients and alumni maximise the value of their investment in development by providing more flexible and integrated ways to access Cranfield’s academic knowledge and key business and management resources on an on-going basis.
The launch of the KI Online builds on the development of the Knowledge INTERCHANGE facility that was opened within Cranfield’s Management Development Centre in 2005, to showcase faculty’s research and provide access to a range of management and business information resources. The on-site facility allows clients to borrow books, read the national & international press and browse journals/magazines. Our dedicated information specialist is on-hand to handle any information requests. There is also a bookshop where the latest titles from Cranfield faculty can be purchased on campus.
