Abstract
In recent years knowledge management (KM) has received increased attention
from academics and practitioners. There are several challenges to
establishing KM as a separate discipline one of the most central
being conceptual plurality. The purpose of this paper is to review
and position 20 of the most frequently cited KM articles in management
journals. More specifically, this paper classifies the KM publications
on the subjectivity-objectivity continuum, discusses the strengths
and weaknesses of the publications drawing from positivism and interpretative
philosophies, and further discusses the challenges in KM, and how
objectivity and subjectivity can be used to provide both product
and process orientations in future research. Copyright � 2006 John
