Gray's classification [1] recognizes different types of managing knowledge with regards action motivations in two different types of problems. The motivation can either be problem identification or problem solving, and the problem can be either unique/new or previously solved. Combining these in 2*2 matrix shows us four types of KM: (1) Discovering new issues, (2) Creating knowledge, (3) Acquiring knowledge, and (4) Raising awareness. Shifting between these ascendingly can be seen as (a) identifying, (b) preserving/storing, and (c) distributing/transferring knowledge (see Fig. 1 below).
