Abstract
The very purpose of the paper is to explore, assess and to determine the elements of knowledge management as an academic discipline. At the beginning, the paper explains the concepts of knowledge, knowledge management and the characteristics of an academic discipline. A structured framework with six criteria suggested by Kuhn (1996) outlining an academic discipline has been applied to evaluate and to put forward a comprehensive understanding Knowledge Management (KM) as an academic discipline. In order to gather relevant data as per the criteria, many sources have been relied upon. Findings reveal that KM meets and supports all the laid down criteria as it has its own body of knowledge, specialized journals, academic curricula, professional societies and can be considered as a progressive academic discipline and scholarly field of study with its own tradition and history.
