Yazdani (2013)."Ikujiro Nonaka: A KM Guru."Paper presented at 3rd International Conference on Business Management (ICoBM), UMT, Lahore, Pakistan.https://escholar.umt.edu.pk/handle/123456789/941This theoretical paper traces Ikujiro Nonaka’s managerial writings over a period of 25 years from 1984 to 2009. It highlights that Nonaka had no intention of discovering a separate field by the name of Knowledge Management. From the very outset he was only highlighting the philosophical differences between Japanese and Western ways of managing the work. It was during this discourse that he developed the SECI Model which formed the backbone of the KM field.enKnowledge ManagementSECI ModelIkujiro NonakaHypertext OrganizationsMiddle-Up-Down ManagingArticle
