Gestão do conhecimento: constituição do campo, temas e perspectivas de pesquisas

Abstract

This research aims to identify and to analyze the research themes in Knowledge Management, in order to understand how this
scientific field has been constituted and what are the research perspectives within it. For the development of this research, a
systematic literature review was carried out using bibliometric studies in Knowledge Management, which were published in the
period from 2008 until 2018. The data was grouped into eight themes: nature of knowledge; social, cognitive, and technological
dimensions of knowledge; spectrum of knowledge; contexts; areas of interfaces; and studies aimed at the development of the
scientific field. The study provides a thematic overview of the Knowledge Management area, pointing out the need to address
new issues that relate to contemporary communication challenges. As practical contributions, the results can help researchers,
practitioners, and students wishing to study in the field. The results may also serve as a guide for conference organizers to identify topics, as well as for scientific editors to guide future article calls
