Since the 1990s, we have had an increasing number of books and journal articles discussing knowledge management (KM) and how it can be performed. So far, we have not discovered an all-singing, all-dancing solution to the issues we find when attempting to implement KM in organisations. What happens is that as we investigate, discuss, and practice knowledge management, we find yet more challenges and issues. In this book we are looking at a number of these challenges and issues, and we hope that the chapters presented will not only stretch our readers' minds but will also prove of practical benefit to their organisations. These chapters were selected to provide a representative sample of the ideas in four main domains - the theory of knowledge management; technical challenges; management and organisational issues and, finally, some illustrations of knowledge management at work in organisations and the lessons that can be learned.
