Hello

So, my understanding ou your posting is that KM is not a science because it doesn't have an Accounting System. Would all the "other" sciences that do not have an Accounting System also be excluded from the realm of Science?

However, I would still like to see the reasons "why Knowledge Management" is not also a science, I am not convinced, but keeping an open mind is
part and parcel of the successful promotion of KM.
Any takers on this one?

BTW Something more than just a brief dismissal (i.e. KM is not Science) would be nice, and might try and clear up the objection to KM being described as both a Science and an Art - not that denial of this makes a whole heap of difference - i.e. it apparently works whether it's a Science or not.

Best regards

Martyn R Jones
