Knowledge Management: Theoretical Foundations

The purpose of this book is to explore and to present key theoretical foundations that underlie the field of Knowledge Management (KM). This book is organized in a manner consistent with its purpose. As you will see this book sets forth a blend of theory and praxis via key "big ideas" associated with KM and practical guidance on putting those key "big ideas" into action. This book is the first in a series of two books. It differs from the second book, which covers key or selected research findings (versus concepts) and their practical applications. It is similar to the second book, however, because this first book (like the second book) takes a theory-to-praxis approach.
