In one form or another, knowledge management has been around for a very long time. Practitioners have included philosophers, priests, teachers, politicians, scribes, Liberians, etc.

- Knowledge management is a discipline that treats intellectual capital as a managed asset. Knowledge management isn`t a centralized database that contains all the information known by an organization`s workers. It`s the idea of gaining business insight from varieties of sources including databases, Web sites, employees, and business partners and cultivating that information wherever it resides. Business insight comes from capturing information and giving it greater meaning via its relationship to other information in the company. And to allay fears, knowledge management is not about making plug-and-play workers, dispensable because all they know is recorded for the next person who fills their shoes; it`s about delivering information to knowledge workers, partnering culture, business processes, and technology to make businesses and people successful. Many factors contribute to the recent interest in knowledge management.
