Abstract

Over the last two decades, knowledge has attracted increased interest in academia and practice. Numerous journals have dedicated special issues to knowledge in organisations and 25 peer-reviewed journals have emerged under the label Knowledge Management (KM). Every sector from manufacturing and services to public administration has engaged in KM initiatives. The Global Knowledge Research Network (GKRN) conducted a global study to identify future research needs in KM. 222 KM experts (38 countries, 42 nationalities, 16 industries, government, international organisations, NGOs, 16 academic disciplines) have contributed. This chapter reports the overall results. Future research in KM needs to demonstrate the value contribution of KM, should focus more on human and social factors and explore KM as an organisational capability. The core concepts of knowledge should be re-visited to improve the understanding. More critical research approaches should be employed and KM research should experiment with design science, ecological and biological models.
