This book is mainly normative and oriented towards manager (not researchers). The content is a little bit outdated now. Nevertheless some chapters are interesting (especially on measuring knowledge). So far, it is not rocket science. (**)

This book is an attempt to formulate a critique of knowledge management theory and knowledge management practice on the basis of post-modern and critical theory. I loved it. Very useful to have a critical eye on the litterature. (*****)

Bertrand Moingeon: Peut-on former les dirigeants ?
Un livre très intéressant qui regroupe des articles de qualité traitant de la prise de décision, le knowledge management et l'apport de la philosophie sur les sciences de gestion.

I stumble on this and just got to say Dilbert must work in my company ( can't say which one). This sums up a discussion I was having with management...they will never get it. Time to move on.
