| Abstract: | The concept of Knowledge Management (KM) was popularized in the 1990s at a time when the dominant organizational metaphor was "organizations as computers." Consistent with that metaphor, KM was conceptualized as creating and maintaining a stand-alone repository for capturing organizational expertise. The explosion of the Internet and World Wide Web has made this view obsolete and transformed the metaphor into one of "organization as networks," leading one recent trade book to title a section, "It's the network, stupid!". This reconceptualization from stand-alone repositories to knowledge networks implies that intelligence resides in the network as a whole rather than in particular nodes. |
