Sometimes you need other people to point you to things that should be obvious. I had an interesting chat with Karsten in Munich on the weekend, discussing the general problems of Knowledge Management in Organisations. He then sent me an article from Dirk Baecker from 1998 that I wasn't aware. Dirk has written a great number of articles in our journal, but in this 20 page piece he deconstructs KM in a way that is wonderful and mindblowing at the same time.

So if you search for an insightful piece that challenges all the truisms of modern management literature, I recommend

Dirk Baecker
Zum Problem des Wissens in Organisationen
