Knowledge Management Research & Practice

期刊简介：Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) Organisational learning Intellectual capital Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems. Perhaps as a consequence of this diversity, the knowledge management literature is at present fragmented. Many of the most influential articles on knowledge management appear in journals in fields as diverse as information systems, general management, strategy, organisational sociology or human resources. The literature also often, somewhat misleadingly, presents the subject as split. Current examples of these "splits", which should rather be debates, include those between the "codification" and "collaboration" schools of thought, and between "Western" (meaning North American) and "Eastern" (meaning Japanese) approaches. The intention for this journal is not only to accommodate these and other perspectives, but also to seek common ground between them. Overall aims and content To provide an outlet for high-quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of managing knowledge. This will include not just those focused on the organisational level, but all levels from that of the individual to that of the nation or profession. This will include both theoretical and practical aspects, and especially the relationship between the two. There will be a particular emphasis on cross-disciplinary approaches, and on the mixing of "hard" (e.g. technological) and "soft" (e.g. cultural or motivational) issues. Rigorous contributions from both academics and practitioners are welcomed. Articles may be empirical research papers, theoretical papers, conceptual papers, case studies or surveys. KMRP will fill the need for a journal specifically concentrating on knowledge management that maintains the highest standards of rigour, and publishes articles that reflect greater multidisciplinary work and/or conceptual integration than those currently published in existing outlets. A cross-disciplinary focus will also enable articles in the journal to address other important tensions in the field of knowledge management, such as those between: Strategy and operations People and technology Short-term and long-term needs The organisation and the individual

【译文】知识管理这个术语自 20 世纪 80 年代首次提出以来，已成为学术和商业领域的主流。在过去十年中，人们的兴趣迅速增加，并且没有任何减弱的迹象。知识管理领域的现状是它包含四个重叠领域： 管理知识（创建/获取、共享、保留、存储、使用、更新、淘汰） 组织学习 智力资本 知识经济学 在这些领域内（以及跨领域），知识管理必须解决与技术、人员、文化和系统相关的问题。也许由于这种多样性，知识管理文献目前是支离破碎的。许多关于知识管理最有影响力的文章出现在信息系统、综合管理、战略、组织社会学或人力资源等不同领域的期刊上。文献也经常将这个主题呈现为分裂的，有些误导。当前这些“分裂”的例子，更确切地说应该是辩论，包括“编纂”和“合作”思想流派之间的分裂，以及“西方”（指北美）和“东方”（指日本）方法之间的分裂。本期刊的目的不仅是容纳这些观点和其他观点，而且是寻求它们之间的共同点。总体目标和内容 为有关知识管理各个方面的高质量、经过同行评审的文章提供一个渠道。这不仅包括那些关注组织层面的人，还包括从个人到国家或职业的所有层面。这将包括理论和实践两个方面，特别是两者之间的关系。将特别强调跨学科方法，以及“硬”（例如技术）和“软”（例如文化或动机）问题的混合。欢迎学者和实践者的积极贡献。文章可以是实证研究论文、理论论文、概念论文、案例研究或调查。 KMRP 将满足对专门专注于知识管理的期刊的需求，该期刊保持最高的严谨标准，并发表比目前在现有媒体上发表的文章更能反映多学科工作和/或概念整合的文章。跨学科的关注还将使期刊中的文章能够解决知识管理领域的其他重要紧张关系，例如以下之间的紧张关系： 战略和运营 人员和技术 短期和长期需求 组织和个人
