| Tiivistelmä: | The advent of information technology has generated interest in how to acquire, store and "mine" data, and also in how to manage knowledge. Yet, there is still considerable confusion and a lack of understanding of what today's knowledge managers {KMgrs} really do. Continuing a stream of previous research on the behaviour activities of traditional managers, this study investigates the relative amount of time today's KMgrs (N=307) spend on traditional management functions, communications, human resources and networking. Besides identifying what KMgrs really do, this study examines what successful KMgrs do. Comparisons are then made with managers in the 1980s. Finally, the role that information technology plays in KMgrs carrying out their managerial activities was assessed. The implications of some surprising findings and conclusions end the paper. |
