The Introduction of the Special Issue Knowledge is a crucial organizational resource irrespective of economic sector, organization type, or mission objective; managing knowledge, accordingly, is essential to corporate vitality and viability. As a critical performance variable, the regulation of knowledge flux is frequently considered in management theories - e.g., social cognition, social capital, theories - that explore how knowledge flow can be aligned with organizational performance. These theories posit that key elements in transformative leadership involve the ability to evoke antecedents maximizing effective knowledge distribution. Successful management thereby relates organizational performance to information transfer ability alone. Tests of these theories reveal, however, that information transfer is instead promoted by corporate invested, personnel value, an intangible benefit termed focal efficacy that is associated with intrinsic valuation or personal meaning. These results imply that value investment in personnel is a variable independent of knowledge transfer ability and imply that successful management will seek to evoke both variables independently. Daley (1986), for example, underscored the need to distinguish individual flourishing from productivity potential, by defining personnel related parameters like job challenge, role clarity, and organizational citizenship. How these variables can be independently elicited in modern global economies is an especially acute and unresolved problem today, where management is faced with obstacles of cultural disparity, transience in virtual electronic communication, and allegiances among community social networks, among others. This special issue of Modern Management Forum seeks theoretical and pragmatic contributions that can guide transformative leadership in synergistically balancing knowledge management with personnel value in globally extended corporate enterprises.
