| Abstract: | This paper is the first to introduce critical systems thinking into the present study of knowledge and its management. The authors' preliminary study showed two things about critical systems thinking. First, it provides comprehensive and creative insight into tackling the increasing complexity of human knowledge and knowledge management processes through the organic connection and division of knowledge systems. Second, it encourages the critical use of available methodologies in a coherent way to cope with corresponding subsystems or processes, which breaks down the complexity into convenient units. Based on critical systems thinking, the authors divided knowledge into two aspects: static substance knowledge and dynamic process knowledge. |
