Proceedings from this knowledge management conference held last June in Trento, Italy, are now available as two massive PDF files - volume one (6.6 mb) and volume two (10.3 mb). Many good papers. A sampling: in 'Writing learning stories' Claudia Jonczyk develops a case writing approach consisting of three phases: the descriptive, the reflective and the critical. The intent is, through analysis of the metaphors used in storytelling, to extract and make explicit tacit knowledge embedded in the descriptions. Also don't miss Birgit Renzl's 'Language as a vehicle of thought', an exploration of the shifting context-dependent meanings of words told in the context of an analysis of the Challenge shuttle disaster. Kirsi Korpiaho asks, 'What do the students learn in business school', and in response describes a situated curriculum (the stuff being taught) and a hidden curriculum (knowledge about how the business school operates) that interact with each other (for example, coping with an exam schedule is congruent with learning how to cope with a production schedule).
