The New Knowledge Management is the story of the birth of second-generation knowledge management, told from the perspective of one its chief architects, Mark W. McElroy. Unlike its first-generation cousin, second-generation Knowledge Management seeks to enhance knowledge production, not just knowledge sharing. As a result, The New Knowledge Management expands the overall reach of knowledge management to include innovation management for the very first time. The New Knowledge Management introduces the concept of second-generation knowledge management to the business community. Mark W. McElroy has assembled a collection of his own essays, written over the past four years, chronicling the development of related thinking in the field. Unlike first-generation KM, mainly focusing on value derived from knowledge sharing, second-generation thinking formally adds knowledge making to the scope of KM. In this way second-generation KM expands the overall reach of KM to include innovation management for the very first time.
