Knowledge Management: An Evolutionary View

Managing organizational knowledge effectively can produce many benefits, including leveraging core business competencies, accelerating innovation and time-to-market, improving cycle times and decision-making, strengthening organizational commitment, and building sustainable competitive advantage.This volume in the AMIS series offers original refereed contributions that synthesize how research perspectives on various topics in Knowledge Management have progressed over the years, thereby illustrating the dynamic and evolutionary aspects of KM theories. The book reveals how thinking about KM has changed, how ideas have moved from being novel to being commonly accepted, how seemingly obvious truths have turned out to be more nuanced and multifaceted over time, how new lines of KM research have emerged from the shortcomings of other lines, and how the presumed purpose of KM and KM systems has evolved.
