Knowledge management in organisations

As we read more about knowledge management and its applications, we see clear links with other, better-known management disciplines. Knowledge management uses concepts, models, methods and techniques developed by various disciplines, making up a growing body of knowledge that, step by step, is forming the theoretical and methodological foundations of a scientific discipline. The content of this book shows that the common thread between these disciplines and knowledge management is the recognition that information and knowledge are corporate assets that require appropriate tools to manage them, because it is not possible to manage the new with the tools of the old.
