Özet

Understanding the knowledge and managing its assets effectively offer various advantages for organizations which lift them to the horizon of success. Since knowledge management (KM) is still regarded as an "embryonic", it is vital to find out KM patterns which would be helpful for both practitioners and academics. This descriptive study aims to offer a general review of KM literature. To do so, 637 articles published in Journal of Knowledge Management (JKM) have been analyzed based on their keywords, titles, number of citations and pages. The data obtained from Web of Science has been analyzed by Wordstat, "a" text mining software, in order to uncover the main knowledge management themes. Our results have showed that KM should be evaluated as a scientific field rather than a management fad. As also suggested in the literature, we have found a significant contribution of KM to the industry, since the "case study" appears as one of the most frequently repeated one among 3144 keywords. We have also found an unexpected result that appears significant negative correlation between the number of publications' pages, and citations. The research is expected to provide insights academics and practitioners interested in KM field. © 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
