Patrick Lambe has a major article on the historical antecedents of knowledge management as the lead article in the March 2011 issue of the Journal of Knowledge Management. The article traces the current confusion and incoherence in the discipline to a lack of historical awareness of its own roots, and claims that there is relevant and substantial theoretical and practical work conducted by economists and social scientists over the past five decades.
