- Description
- In 1995, Peter Drucker forecast that “The traditional factors of production – land, labour and capital are becoming restraints rather than driving forces” and “Knowledge is becoming the one critical factor of production”. Since then public, political, and research interest in knowledge based society related issues, philosophies, challenges and policies has increased dramatically. Our ability as a society to manage our existing knowledge base has become the benchmark by which we are able to move forward and expand our knowledge horizons. The expression “avoid re-inventing the wheel” has become the catch cry justification for Knowledge Management (KM) principles. Knowledge builds on knowledge, and managing existing knowledge availability feeds the growth of future knowledge. Acquisition of knowledge, through efficient transformation of information, can make the difference between the success and failure of a company in the competitive environment of global economy and knowledge society. KM integrated with its main support and implementation platform Information Technology (IT), became one of the fastest growing research areas dealing with enormous complexities related to our quest to swiftly move from information to knowledge oriented global society. IT has become especially significant to both academia and practitioners involved in KM. The border between IT and KM is today one of the most rapidly changing scientific fields. New technologies and concepts are developed on this border, and the old ones are influenced by, for example, artificial intelligence or soft modelling approaches. In such an everevolving environment, researchers and professionals need access to the most current information about the concepts, issues, trends and technologies in this area.
