Summary
Knowledge has been a controversial debate in western philosophy for years (Betz, 2001). Alavi and Leidner (2001) presented a comprehensive review and interpretation of knowledge management literatures in various fields with the focus towards determining the important areas for research. They presented a detailed process view of organizational knowledge management with a concentration on the potential role of information technology in this process. Hicks et al (2007) investigated the current thoughts on knowledge management (KM). They developed a metaphor to combination of these thoughts in a new way that effectively conveyed various kinds of knowledge and ways of managing it. According to Christensen (2007), Knowledge sharing is the best method for moving away from the obsession with best practices
