Abstract
Knowledge management (KM) is nowadays a relevant topic of interest for numerous reference disciplines and involved parties in research and practice. Considering KM-literature, a fast-growing and heterogeneous collection of content exists, including various theories, topics, keywords and models which are discussed and used to handle KM-related problems and topics. The consequence is the absence of a common understanding and harmonization in KM. The paper presents a first approach towards a normative and scientifically evidenced corporate KM-framework that supports highlighting unexplored KM-topics and contributes to a common understanding of terminology, concepts and methods used in KM. The framework in this study focuses on KM-systems and is the result of the integration of most cited classification approaches. It serves as a starting point to consolidate the topics of the KM-discipline and helps in obtaining an overview of relevant topics to successfully address KM issues in research and praxis.
