TL;DR: A literature review and categorised analysis of the rapidly growing number of KM publications is provided to offer a comprehensive reference for new-comers embarking on research in the field with a particular focus on the area of knowledge measurement.
Abstract: Purpose – Knowledge is the currency of the current economy, a vital organisational asset and a key to creating a sustainable competitive advantage. The consequent interest in knowledge management (KM) has spurred an exponential increase in publications covering a broad spectrum of diverse and overlapping research areas. The purpose of this paper is to provide a literature review and categorised analysis of the rapidly growing number of KM publications, and offer a comprehensive reference for new-comers embarking on research in the field with a particular focus on the area of knowledge measurement. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 350 articles published in peer-reviewed journals over the last decade are carefully reviewed, analysed and categorised according to their specific subject matter in the KM context. Findings – KM research tends to fall in one of five categories: Ontology of Knowledge and KM, Knowledge Management Systems, Role of Information Technology, Managerial and Social issues, and Kno...

TL;DR: This monograph presents a set of emerging theories, along with current practices and recommendations, that focus on the effective management of knowledge in educational settings and offers recommendations for those interested in promoting the use of knowledge management practices in education.
Abstract: This monograph presents a set of emerging theories, along with current practices and recommendations, that focus on the effective management of knowledge in educational settings. It provides a set of simple designs for linking people, processes, and technologies, and discusses how organizations can promote policies and practices that help people share and manage knowledge. The details in the monograph are drawn from discussions at the Knowledge Management in Education Summit held in December 2002. The aim of the monograph is to build from the insights of presenters and participants at the summit in an effort to share the most recent understandings about knowledge management in education. It describes knowledge management as a set of practices that helps to improve the use and sharing of data and information in decision-making. Following a discussion on improving accountability in education, the monograph addresses technology culture and information culture; provides practical approaches to knowledge management; discusses the practical aspects of knowledge management; and offers recommendations for those interested in promoting the use of knowledge management practices in education.
