Knowledge management is practiced globally in most organisations, but in some of these organisations the practice is limited to isolated functional units. What is important is to ensure the practice of knowledge management takes place in all the functional units of an organisation wherever this is possible. Moreover, the knowledge management practiced in all the functional units of the organisation should be coordinated and integrated, thereby promoting congruence where the force of the 'whole' is greater than the force of the 'disparate' functional units.

This book addresses new research issues, theories and concepts in Knowledge Management. It contains twelve chapters on knowledge management describing scholarly research on issues related to Knowledge Management integrated with other disciplines.
