Welcome to the first issue of The Journal for 2009 and the second issue for us as co-editors. When we put together the first issue of The Journal last fall, the financial crisis was just unfolding. Now 6 months later, we all have a better understanding of what happened, but are still grappling with what the current environment means for each of us individually and collectively for our organizations, professions, and fields.
We wish we had a crystal ball to predict when the economy will turn around. But regrettably, that's not the case. Instead, we may have something that proves to be much more reliable for creating value -- the collective wisdom of practitioners working in the field and academics defining and refining theory to further our understanding of knowledge management.
We
welcome your comments on our Journal and we will do our
best to meet your needs. Please forward ideas for improving
the Journal to the Editor.
