دانلود Defining knowledge management: Toward an applied compendium

Abstract

The  purpose  of  the  paper  is  to  chronicle  the  depth  and  breadth  of  applied  knowledge  management  definitions penned  by  researchers  and  practitioners  alike.    Once  these  definitions  are  part  of  the  body  of  knowledge  they become accessible to academics conducting research, to organizations considering knowledge management, and to other  interested  parties  who  wish  to  learn  more  about  the  subject.    All  of  the  definitions  are  freely  available  from open access sources.  Collectively the definitions represent the thoughts of authors in at least 13 countries and from 23  domains.    The  collection  of  definitions  highlight  the  truly  multidisciplinary  nature  of  knowledge  management.  The  initial analysis revealed the  four most common verbs were use, create, share, and manage. The  most common nouns were knowledge, process, organization, and information.
