Very interesting views from Mezei,
I would like to add in more perspectives:
"knowledge management will apply to both the machine and human 'systems' of an company."

One of the knowledge domains (apparantly independent) is the machine-system.
But the machine system is also a outcome of interaction of earlier Man-Machine-System.

" So it comes back to my original assertion, that knowledge is 'action' and management is 'reaction', and
by understanding both the nature and implications of this principle, we can effectively practice KM, and
oversee/coordinate both man and machine."

Hence the INTERACTION of the two domains : in term of "action" and "reaction"
lies the secret to mainkind. "Therefore knowledge management must be a ubiquitious
set of guidelines or principles, equally applicable to man or machine."
These Guiding Principles towards Happiness, Peace, Harmony, Prosperity etc.
have unfortunately been fragmented into part machine (factory for profit only)
into part man (philosopher in ivory tower).
