| Abstract: | The authors suggest that Knowledge Management (KM) efforts, to be successful, need to be sensitive to features the context of generation, location, and application of knowledge. To this end, the authors highlight the situated organizational learning perspective that views knowledge as embedded in individuals, in connections between individuals, and in artifacts as a useful lens to examine phenomena related to the establishment of KM initiatives. The authors apply the situated knowledge perspective to highlight the factors responsible for the limited success of the initiative in the firm. This study suggests that a consideration of the situated knowledge web and the alignment of the initiatives with the features of the knowledge web are central to success in knowledge management efforts in firms. |
