Knowledge management and measurement: a critical review

The consequent interest in Knowledge Management (KM) has spurred an exponential increase in publications covering a broad spectrum of diverse and overlapping research areas. The purpose of this paper is to provide a literature review and categorised analysis of the rapidly growing number of KM publications, and offer a comprehensive reference for newcomers embarking on research in the field with a particular focus on the area of Knowledge Measurement. Design/Methodology/Approach A total of 350 articles published in peer-reviewed journals and conferences over the last decade are carefully reviewed, analysed and categorised according to their specific subject matter in the KM context. Findings KM research tends to fall in one of five categories: (1) Ontology of Knowledge and KM, (2) Knowledge Management Systems, (3) Role of Information Technology, (4) Managerial& Social issues, and (5) Knowledge Measurement. Despite the accumulation of extensive publication efforts in some areas, a series of disagreements and a theory-practice gap are revealed as challenging issues that need to be addressed. Research Limitations/Implications The scope of this study does not cover KM research in its entirety due to the vast nature of the research field. Originality/Value This paper presents a new birds-eye view of the KM landscape through a comprehensive taxonomy of KM research providing researchers with new insights for future applied research, and offers a critical review of major knowledge measurement frameworks.

Coherence relations, ellipsis and contrastive topics

It is commonly believed that the presence of ellipsis is one of the main reasons why natural language is as ambiguous as it is. If lexical material is left unpronounced, a hearer must rely on other parts of the sentence, on contextual information and on intonation to recover the unpronounced material. Because there may be different options within the sentence for recovery of unpronounced material, elliptical sentences can be ambiguous. Also, the context in which the sentence appears can differ, which may lead to different readings. Finally, the sentence may be compatible with different patterns of intonation. Because intonation can have truth-conditional effects, this may also increase the number of readings of a sentence.

One of these issues which has become a central theme in post-modernism for understanding human existence is Heidegger's unique analysis of "Dasein" based on hemeneutic-phenomenology. What is distinctive about Dasein is its consciousness projeting itself and the things in the world and at the
