The trend study of Pumacy Technologies AG answers the question of which knowledge management approaches have a chance to succeed in practice. The authors have examined all practices for their application and distribution by applying a hype cycle approach. The hype cycle illustrates the different phases of public attention that an innovation goes through during market introduction. For each method and technology the chart shows whether it is already being used in practice or is still subject to development. In addition to this data, the study shows when the different knowledge management trends will become established. The respondents are all knowledge management practitioners and visionaries, most of them in managing or executive positions in large companies.
