There are no more 'quick hits' with respect to developing research and knowledge in these areas. In the present issue of the journal we have been able to gather papers that cover a wide range of applications of the concepts of knowledge management ranging from the Biotechnology industry to New York taxi cabs! These papers reflect the outcome of detailed, thoughtful longerterm studies of knowledge management. In upcoming issues we will present similar work in the area of process management.
