| Tiivistelmä: | Knowledge management (KM) is seen as a metaphorical perspective on management with the managerial focus depending on the epistemological standpoint taken. An identification of three epistemological perspectives accommodates the main body of literature on KM: an artifact oriented epistemology that focuses on explicit knowledge, a process oriented epistemology focusing on both tacit and explicit knowledge and the interaction of these types of knowledge and an autopoietic epistemology where knowledge basically always has a tacit dimension. Based on a study of KM in the Danish company Crisplant, this paper shows how the three epistemologies bring different aspects of managerial practice forward. By comparing the characteristics of knowledge, the nature of KM activities, how knowledge is created and shared it is concluded that awareness of the implications of epistemological perspectives could enhance managerial analysis and conduct with respect to the management of knowledge as well as enrich research in the area. |
