Research directions for knowledge management

摘要

The emerging interest in knowledge management requires, and will probably receive, considerable scholarly inquiry. As research advances, it ought to be especially sensitive to preserving, and building upon, the already significant literatures on the management of technology, entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy. Indeed, there is a real danger that knowledge management will become discredited if it proceeds in ignorance of these large extant literatures, thereby creating unnecessary intellec- tual clutter and confusion.
