dc.description.abstract | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show-case how modern Knowledge Management Models,
specifically that of Earl, can be applied to manage Indigenous Knowledge (IK).
Design/methodology/approach – The paper is largely based on the review of both print and
electronic resources.
Findings – Despite IK being tacit and marginalized it can indeed be managed by use of modern
models just like modern knowledge.
Research limitations/implications – Validation poses a challenge and the future of IK will also be
challenged unless stringent solutions are unveiled.
Practical implications – The paper suggests a number of ways in which IK can be managed using
the contemporary KM models with specific attention to Earl’s KM Taxonomy.
Originality/value – The paper shows how IK, a tacit knowledge, can go through the various KM
processes of creation/production, storage, processing/codification, transfer and utilization
