"Advocates of knowledge management as the next big……" — Jeffrey Pfeffer
"Advocates of knowledge management as the next big thing have advanced the proposition that what companies need is more intellectual capital. While that is undeniably true, its only partly true. What those advocates are forgetting is that knowledge is only useful if you do something with it."
