A collection of classical and major articles on KM

This book is a collection of fundamental articles published in academic reviews (the titles of the chapters do not correspond with the published articles, it may confuse the reader). Yet for academics many texts are well-known, for practitioners they laack of managerial recommandations. Nonetheless, the selection is good, it includes the major text of Polanyi on tacit knowledge which is almost impossible to find elsewhere. I recommand this book for scholars, managers who need a theoretical review of litterature, and teatchers looking for a basic and comprehensive book for a knowledge management class.
