Author(s): Day, Ronald E. Abstract: Day attempts to set the current knowledge management specialization into its twentieth century historical context, indicating that its current popularity is a symptom of ongoing attempts to manage knowledge in capitalist society. Traditionally this has been seen as an attempt to capture and organize those thoughts not directly linked to daily operations but produced as a kind of surplus. Modern knowledge management aims to appropriate the workers knowledge and the consumer/'s wants and needs into the structure of the organization. The context begins with Otlet/'s concept of a world brain; collected knowledge for the creation of world peace, followed by Briet/'s idea that knowledge can exist outside of documents and as a resource not for peace but for scientific and industrial production. These thoughts were criticized by Heidegger for whom language and context produce knowledge and so the act of trying to transmit knowledge will effect it. Day sees |
