KM-WM: A New Vision Based on Conceptual Theories of Knowledge and Wisdom

This book presents a new vision of knowledge management-based wisdom management (KM-WM). In order to introduce this vision, the book addresses KM holistically, tackling its different challenges and components. The book utilizes an epistemological approach, strengthened by an interdisciplinary outlook that includes the practical and empirical sciences. Based on comprehensive investigation and conceptual analyses, the author proposes two major conceptual theories of the generation processes of knowledge and wisdom in the human mind. The author also proposes three theories for the generation processes of data, information, and decision making. All five theories contribute to shaping the new vision, which emerges as a result of the outcomes investigated in this book. The book targets a variety of audiences and professionals from different disciplines and backgrounds. It will be of particular interest to readers in management, business, information management, artificial intelligence, psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy.
