Chapter 4 : Tools and implications of managing knowledge and creativity
Résumé
Interests in knowledge management (KM) come from various disciplines: economy, social, engineering. These interests are not often linked. Within the fi rms, KM practices vary a lot depending on national cultures and on activity sectors. Some of the missions of the scientific community are to identify these interests, to analyze the potentialities, and to propose an evolution of concepts and practices. However, one can identify a potential symmetry between the diversity of practices and the partitioning of scientific approaches.
