Joy London links to a piece entitled Zen and the Art of Knowledge Management (full article here) that explores differences between eastern and western concepts of knowlegde management

“Davidson contrasts Knowledge Stocks (the Western idea of capturing explicit knowledge in a central repository) from Knowledge Flows (the Eastern idea of encouraging tacit knowledge without necessarily converting it into a knowledge stock). To some, this may sound very warm and fuzzy, but trust me, this paper is much more interesting than your typical KM pabulum. Print this article, and enjoy it during your commute home this evening.”
