Abstract: Abstract The question of how knowledge should best be defined has been the subject of a lively epistemological debate (Shin, Holden and Schmidt 2001). An examination of the various perspectives on the definition of knowledge and their implications for knowledge management forms a useful starting point, enabling researchers and practitioners alike to understand the directions of knowledge management research and the approach taken in this study.
