The BPRC is proud to invite you to attend their 'Knowledge Management;
Controversies and their causes' Conference, to be held at the University
of Warwick, 10th and 11th February, 2000
10th and 11th February 2000
Knowledge Management has been presented by some as a crucial element of
organisational performance yet is dismissed by others as the latest
management fad. If the debate on Knowledge Management is to keep pace
with the practice, there is a need for substantive research to address
the novel concepts and controversies of this emerging field. This
conference will provide an opportunity to present and debate such
research by; disseminating research findings from studies dealing with
the management of knowledge in organisations; encouraging debate around
the critical themes raised by knowledge management; helping to promote
an active research community in this field comprised of both academics
and practitioners.
This BPRC conference is aimed both at academics researching in the
broadly defined field of Knowledge Management and managers wishing to
reflect upon their practical experience.
The suggested themes for this conference are:
Knowledge Management and Complexity
Theories of knowledge and organisational forms.
The development of Knowledge Management practices and their
organisational and HRM implications.
The diffusion, impact and limitations of Knowledge Management tools and
technologies.
Fashion-setting in the management of knowledge.
Managing Knowledge Versus managing intellectual Capital: Strategies,
theories and disciplinary boundaries Knowledge flows in the context of
trust and collaboration.

Prof. Harry Scarbrough, Research Director, Leicester University and
