 Page 21 | 21 The Power of Knowledge Sharing in Organizations In a 1998 California Management Review article, Liam Fahey and Larry Prusak argue, "If knowledge is not something that is different from data or information, then there is nothing new or interesting in knowledge management." Unfortunately, three years later, many still steadfastly refuse to draw the distinction between "information" and "knowledge." Jeff De Cagna writes about these issues, and introduces the special content on this issue of Information Outlook. | |
 page 22 | 22 Creating a Collaborative Environment: The Human Element Many organizations seek knowledge management solutions from technology when, in truth, technology should play only a supporting role.

One of the most powerful, yet invisible phenomena of the modern workplace is "social capital," the shared commitment to others that makes collective action possible. Jeff De Cagna discusses these issues with Larry Prusak, executive director of IBM's Institute for Knowledge Management. | |
