In 2002, Tom Wilson argued about knowledge management (KM) "that the bandwagon lacks wheels". In the same issue of the same journal, Leonard Ponzi and Michael Koenig posited that KM was perhaps "in the process of establishing itself as a new aspect of management". Who was correct? This article examines bibliographic evidence to conclude that the latter interpretation was correct, that KM has firmly established itself as a major, and to the extent that permanence can be established in this rapidly changing world, permanent component of management. It then argues that the reasons for KM's permanence all fundamentally derive from the common sense of KM.

Further Development

In environments that are characterized by skill shortage, knowledge retention should be a key activity. Our understanding of this knowledge practice, however, is underdeveloped. The purpose of this chapter is to contribute to the further development of this field. The authors are interested in studying how smaller firms approach the retention of critical knowledge. Semi-structured interviews with organization members of five smaller Austrian firms operating in the building and construction industry were conducted. The findings presented in this chapter advance the limited understanding of knowledge retention in general and regarding smaller businesses. They also contribute to the further development of the study of knowledge management in the building and construction sector. Based on the study's findings, suitable measures to better manage the process of knowledge retention in smaller firms are derived. These measures may be useful for smaller firms operating in similar industries as well.
