 * Knowledge management, human centric approaches**

Mikael Schönström (2005) points to the distinction between **human-centric** and technology-centric approaches to knowledge management (KM) within organisations.

Schönström cites three papers from the //Organization Science// journal (Grant, 1996; Liebskind, Oliver, Zucker, & Brewer, 1996; Okhuysen & Eisenhardt, 2002) and one in the //Journal of Knowledge Management// (JoKM) (Seufert, von Krogh, & Bach, 1999). According to Schönström these four articles emphasise "the importance of human networks and networking [in enabling] knowledge diffusion and integration in knowledge intensive organisations," (Schönström, 2005, p. 18).
