Abstract

Reflecting on the history and development of the knowledge management discipline from an academic and applied research perspective, this chapter will outline the KM essentials as core of the discipline and open questions to be addressed in the future. Secondly, the author will discuss in particular the role of KM within organizational practice in regard to the overall societal challenges all organizations are facing today globally. Thirdly, the chapter will provide an outlook of the discipline in the light of future developments and suggests some research topics to be addressed by interdisciplinary KM research in the future. Beside on drawing on more than 35 years of experience in the KM field, this contribution will profit from previous research undertaken on the future of KM (2002 and 2012), contributions to guidelines and standards for KM (e.g., CEN, DIN, ISO), as well as from working with European Fortune 500 companies over the past 25 years.
