Abstract

This paper will examine the shifts in perspective that have taken place in the Information Systems community in the last decade, as reflected in the published literature. Specifically, a trend is detectable where authors increasingly treat information almost as if it were data, rather than being inside the heads of the participants. Currently, it would seem that when authors write about knowledge, they do intend something inside people’s heads, and consequently considerable critical attention is being paid to writings on Organisational Learning or Knowledge Management. We discuss some of these controversies briefly in this paper.
