Philosophy
The philosophy of JKMP is systemic, and will include submitted/invited papers related to all aspects of knowledge management. Elements such as physical assets, learning, database technology, intellectual capital, investment strategy, mindsets, and a host of others subject to systemic interactions, are increasingly treated as separate and unrelated topics. The journal will seek to foster cross-fertilisation and a more general understanding of how all these elements and subsystems can be identified, and managed, to fit together and interact to best fulfil organisational objectives. It is hoped to promote a practical view of knowledge management which will motivate practitioners to engage across topic boundaries.
Knowledge Management (KM) is defined as those processes, tools and infrastructures by which an organisation continuously improves, maintains and exploits all those elements of its knowledge base which the organisation believes are relevant to achieving its goals; KM includes the processes, tools and infrastructure by which these goals are modified as the organisation's knowledge base changes.
The organisation's knowledge base is defined to include the data, information, intuition, knowledge (know how), understanding (know why), and wisdom, residing throughout the organisation.
Purpose
The Journal of Knowledge Management Practice aims to collect, and disseminate to a multi-disciplinary audience, writings which will contribute to an holistic understanding of organisational knowledge management. Currently papers and presentations are scattered over a wide range of publications, none of which focus on knowledge management as a system which can only be understood and optimised when its elements have been identified, and their interactions understood and harmonised.
We are keen to encourage a wide range of submissions and contributions, including research findings, case studies, critical essays, trend analyses, anecdotal experiences, product and service reviews and commentaries, book and other publication reviews, and other areas of interest. Our intention is, above all, to be informative and useful to those working in organisations. As such, we would encourage those preparing submissions to think carefully about applications in practice.
