Since KM became a prominent topic in the management literature, various perspectives have been developed ranging from a first, technology-focused view to the taxonomic-based standpoint, from ‘knowledge as what is known’ to the later sociopractical concept. Each perspective embodies a different role of ICT, which may be a classical IS which allows users to translate knowledge into information, as well as extrapolate knowledge from information (technology-focused view) or the need to transfer noncodified knowledge (taxonomic-based standpoint) or a backward role with respect to managerial and organisational levers in the what is known perspective (knowledge lies in the individual mind).
