Knowledge management, arts and humanities: Setting the scene

Abstract

This short introductory chapter aims to familiarise readers with the main theme of the book and its structure. It argues the need for expanding the realm of knowledge management and suggests the benefits of interdisciplinary collaborations between knowledge management and arts and humanities. Then it briefly presents individual chapters of the book and explains how they contribute novel theoretical approaches and empirical evidence of the nature and value that arts and humanities bring to knowledge management and vice versa.
