Knowledge Management - this is one of many fields, which one cannot examine alone, but there is always needed a help of the other scientists.
What is new in this insight? It means that many books have been written, many online-pages have been set up, many investigations have been done, but in spite of that, research on KM seems to be a never ending process. To be honest: We don’t want to discover America once again or reinvent the wheel. Even without our statement a lot has been said. What we really want is – to be able to discuss our ideas with our readers and to come to the conclusion that the one who can lead the human knowledge can lead the entire World.

Knowledge Management – it is a technology. It includes many methods as there are:

• knowledge use and search;


• structure and systematisation;


• knowledge analysis;


• knowledge update;


• knowledge sharing;


• new generation of knowledge.

If you come back to the definition of Knowledge Management (KM), you realise that the mentioned methods are on the one hand related to information technology: The first part of open questions in the area of Knowledge Management can be answered by the document management system. The second part of the mentioned KM-methods concerning especially knowledge sharing and knowledge update is based on fields that are pretty far from information-technology: Psychology, management and journalism.

Andrej Sljusarenko, IT Consulting Director at the “Aj-Ti”-Company, states: ‘An important knowledge-sharing problem is the handling of tacit knowledge. Thus, it is difficult to find the appropriate KM instruments. We have to find the experts, which are able to communicate their knowledge in a way that it gets understandable to everyone.’

If you want to know how international giants like for example Motorola, Shell, General Electronic, deal with this problem, we recommend the book of Peter Senge “The fifth discipline.”(Moscow. “Olimp-Business, 1999).

But the strongest experiment showing how to handle Knowledge Management technology is well known. The number of users increases everyday. It is – the INTERNET.
