10 research articles you should read

This year, I had to create a course in Knowledge Management in Audencia. My first idea was to select articles that students should read. Here is my (subjective) selection:

1. If only we knew what we know: identification and transfer of internal best practices. O'Dell, C., & Grayson, J. (1998) California Management Review, 40(3), 154-174.
2. Balancing act: how to capture knowledge without killing it. Brown, J. S., & Duguid, P. (2000) Harvard Business Review (May-June).
3. Why information technology inspired but cannot deliver knowledge management. McDermott, R. (1999) California Management Review, 41(4), 104-117.
4. Knowledge management strategies: toward taxonomy. Earl, M. (2001) Journal of Mangement Information Systems, 18(1), 215-233.
5. Successful knowledge management projects. Davenport, T., DeLong, D., & Beers, M. (1998) Sloan Management Review, 39(2), 43-57.
6. Organizing knowledge.Brown, J. S., & Duguid, P. (1998) California Management Review, 40(3), 90-111.
7. Communities of practice: the organizational frontier. Wenger, E., & Snyder, W. (2000) Harvard Business Review, 78(1), 139-145.
8. Knowledge management as a doughnut: shaping your knowledge strategy trough communities of practice. Wenger, E. (2004) Ivey Business Journal (January/February).
9. Knowledge management: philosophy, processes and pitfalls. Soo, C., Devinney, T., Midgley, D., & Deering, A. (2002) California Management Review, 44(4), 129-150.
10. Introducing T-shaped managers: knowledge management’s next generation. Hansen, M. (2001) Harvard Business Review, 79(March), 106-116.

I am in the early stages of my cand.merc.dat on CBS in Copenhagen.

I am going to write about KM. You seem to be an expert - so I am looking for advice regarding requiring KM knowledge -in a fast and and efficient way.

I think its important in the beginning to get a holistic view of the different methods and theories. So do you have an overall theory book you can recommend? Or should I just read the ***** stars books you recommend? Or should I start with the 10 articles?

I guess you been throw this process and now knows how to maximize the learning process - I hope you can help me.

Regards
Johan
