Abstract

Knowledge management [KM] first appeared as a distinct phrase in the context of IS in the mid-1990s, since when it has grown to become the latest item in the IS pantheon. The term itself ought to promote more uneasiness than it appears to do so within the IS academy, and this paper outlines the reasons why the term should be viewed with less enthusiasm and more suspicion.
