A Knowledge Management Literature Review based on Wiig´s Prognosis of 1997

Knowledge is an important asset that can result in innovation and competitive advantage for companies. This paper provides a literature review based on perspectives proposed in a paper written by Karl M. Wiig almost two decades ago which forecasted development of Knowledge Management. The aim of this paper is to compare Wiigâ??s predictions with the current state of Knowledge Management literature to see how true his forecasts turned out to be. Moreover, the current literature is reviewed in order to find out which subtopics of Knowledge Management should be key topics for future research.
