KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT: AN OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH TRENDS

Genç ve disiplinlerarası bir alan olan Bilgi Yönetimi (BY), bilimsel araştırmalarda ve bilgiye dayalı ekonomilerin geliştirilmesinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışma BY literatürünü dikkatle gözden geçirerek, BY araştırma eğilimlerini içeren çalışmalarda kullanılan yöntemleri ve bunların BY disiplinine katkısını ayrıntılı olarak incelemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacını, BY atıf klasiklerinin ve bunların temel özelliklerinin incelenmesiyle mevcut BY araştırma eğilimlerinin ve atıf analizleri sonuçları doğrultusunda bütüncül bir BY çerçevesinin belirlenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 2010 ile 2014 yılla rı arasında akademik hakemli dergilerde yayınlanan 152 makale incelenmiştir. Bu incelemelerin sonucunda, bütüncül bir BY çerçevesi geliştirilerek BY alanında konsensüs oluşturmasına katkı sağlaması hedeflenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, BY makalelerinin kapsamının oldukça geniş kavram, disiplin ve çevreden oluştuğunu göstermektedir

BİLGİ YÖNETİMİ: ARAŞTIRMA EĞİLİMLERİNE GENEL BAKIŞ

As a young and interdisciplinary field, Knowledge Management (KM) holds a crucial role in scientific research and development of k nowledge-intensive economies. This study elaborates on the methods used in previous studies regarding the research trends of KM and their contribution to the discipline by examining the KM literature. The purpose of the study is to determine the current research trends of KM by analysing KM citation classics and examining their characteristics as well as presenting a holistic framework of KM publications from the results of citation analysis. A total of 152 articles published in peer review journals between the years 2010 2014 were analysed. As a result of the analysis, a holistic KM framework was develope d in order to contribute to a consensus of KM field. The results of the study reveals that the coverage of KM articles expanded into a broad spectrum of concepts, disciplines and environment
