You have asked a very interesting question. Here is a 'think piece' that
I had started writing long ago: this seems like the right moment to
share it with you.

From this working paper, you will understand the origins of my working
definition of Knowledge Management. You will also gather that there is
no consensus about definitions, or differences between, Organizational
Learning and Learning Organizations.

The working paper has been posted today at:

http://www.kmbook.com/orglrng.htm

Other discussants on this forum will relate a number of threads of discussions
to the thoughts expressed in here. Furthermore, they may be able to appreciate
the earlier discussion on 'Non-Definition' of Organizational Learning.

If after reviewing this working paper [which is written for any kind of
audience], you are still unable to 'distinguish' my interpretation of
Knowledge Management posted at:

http://www.kmnetwork.com/

and

http://www.kmnetwork.com/kmabst.htm

you may like to observe the contrast between the definitions discussed
in the Org. Lrng. & Lrng. Orgn. piece and see how this interpretation
is similar 'and' not-so-similar compared with definitions expressed
therein by other authors.

Further, you may also like to contrast it with the other definitions of
KM from articles published by other authors, again for similarities and
differences, posted at:

http://www.kmnetwork.com/kmdefs.htm

Possibly, you shall get the drift of how my definition of KM is similar
'and' non-similar from compared with other interpretations.

After all definitions and explanations are finally made up of similarities
and differences that we detect in them...

Sincerely,

Yogesh Malhotra
