“A new type of search algorithm is described at NSU . In

The Case Against Knowledge Management
Effective knowledge management does not settle on one

consultants and auditors can use PricewaterhouseCoopers’ KnowledgeCurve
system to access news services, online training courses, best practices,
and so on. However, managing partner George Bailey notes that most people
prefer to look to others for help rather than refer to the system first.
He adds that the company’s most commonly used knowledge management tool
is a Lotus Notes email list nicknamed “Kraken” that any employee can use.
