Our own version on KM definition in brief, .....Knowledge Management (KM) essentially is not management technique but behaving more as an access mechanisms that can be used across any management tool type such as Total Quality Management, Learning Organization (Peter Senge?s Fifth Discipline), Benchmarking, Process Classification Framework, Business Process Reengineering, Balanced Scorecard, Business Intelligence, Information Management including Social Media platforms etc. wherein each with their specific functions to be orchestrated under KM?s consciousness. So, here we put KM in incredibly broad meaning behaving as subject with higher level than any other management tool type which is treated only as object ( http://www.scribd.com/doc/28696847/How-to-re-postulating-the-paradigm-of-Knowledge-and-Knowledge-Management and/or http://mobeeknowledge.ning.com/forum/topics/repostulating-the-paradigm-of ).
Our definition of KM above mentioned directly based on how we redefine Knowledge, ......Knowledge evolved as emergent property inside human being as Complex System having consciousness, alive and behaving as subject with freewill. Contrary with Data and Information exist outside human being, non-alive and behaving as object only ( MobeeKnowledge K-base http://www.delicious.com/mobeeknowledge/kmdefinition )
