Abstract
This chapter briefly overviews the evolution of KM from a historical perspective and discusses core concepts associated with the management of knowledge, projects and networks. We introduce theoretical perspectives that are used in the KM literature, discuss the concept of a networked-centric collaborative organization, and present future technologies in KM including the management of knowledge using social media and intelligent techniques.
