The relevance of knowledge management and intellectual capital Research

In recent years, there has been a growing pressure on business schools to make their research more useful to practitioners. Consequently, the AASCB International dedicated an entire report to the subject. In order to assess the relevance of knowledge management/intellectual capital (KM/IC) research, 12 semi‐structured interviews were undertaken with KM/IC professionals. Based on the findings, a framework was constructed and eight implications were suggested. Overall, this study is the first documented attempt to empirically investigate the issue of relevance of KM/IC academic output.
