Hello all,
The objective of this blog is to learn about knowledge management which is somewhat a new fad amongst organisations who recognise that knowledge is power and wish to learn more about and managing internal and external; and tacit and explicit knowledge
Knowledge is a critical success factor in gaining competitive advantage and those organisations that are efficient and effective at using it will get to and remain at the top of their Game.

Congratulations Tubo on initiating your Blog!
I noticed that you already called KM a fad! Can you expand?
I know that some would argue that it is just another fad (e.g. Prof. Wilson The Nonsense of Knowledge Management ) while many others have been argue that KM is essential in the knowledge-based economy. What do you think?
I am also looking forward to your position on KM model(s).
Keep up the Knowledge!
I guess using the word fad might not be right because KM unlike a new fashion is not here for a brief period.
The KM concept will be around for a long time.
Please check this blog later for my post on Knowledge management models.
You say KM is a new fad, but when do you think it began to be recognised that knowledge might be managed?
To anwser your question i will refer to Earl (2000) who said that the concepts and practices of Knowledge management evolved in the 1990s as business managers started to recognise Knowledge as a critical resource in improving business performance and that it needs to be managed. So my thinking is that while knowledge has been here since the beginning of time and people have always managed it, albeit unconciously, organisations are now just making concious efforts to strategise on managing knowledge beginning from the early 1990s.
