Abstract

In 2002, Tom Wilson argued about knowledge management (KM) "that the bandwagon lacks wheels". In the same issue of the same journal, Leonard Ponzi and Michael Koenig posited that KM was perhaps "in the process of establishing itself as a new aspect of management". Who was correct? This article examines bibliographic evidence to conclude that the latter interpretation was correct, that KM has firmly established itself as a major, and to the extent that permanence can be established in this rapidly changing world, permanent component of management. It then argues that the reasons for KM's permanence all fundamentally derive from the common sense of KM.
