University of San Francisco Professor Steve Alter’s typology of the “dark side” of KM (presented at the 2006 ICSS in Hawaii) is a fascinating reversal of Michael Zack’s framework for managing codified knowledge. Some of the examples, though, seem to have only a tenuous relationship to his suggested categories, and I’d like to see someone do more in this area. (And perhaps tie it to Peter Galison’s work on secrecy: “Removing Knowledge.”)

But what I really love is Alter’s Work System Press!
