What is it about?

To present the state of the art of a rising French research community on Knowledge Management, who organized during the past four years years now, a French speaking congress (GeCSO). Interests in Knowledge Management (KM) come from various disciplines; economy, social, engineering. These interests are not often linked. Within the firms, KM practices vary a lot depending on national cultures and on activity sectors. However, one can identify a potential symmetry between the diversity of practices and the partitioning of scientific approaches.

Why is it important?

We analyze three main dimensions which emerged from the articles: the practical dimension, the epistemological point of view, and the intention to define a theory of action. Highlight some of the recent research work and themes conducted in the field of Knowledge Management in French speaking countries. We also present the challenge to integrate more and more the different scientific domains of Knowledge Management in the GeCSO community.

Perspectives

KM is an emerging domain, especially in the French culture. This paper can be seen as a first foundation of the domain, and also a manifesto to develop interdisciplinary research on this topic.
