Abstract

This paper focuses on knowledge management stressing an individual project manager's point of view. First, the authors outline two knowledge management strategies as well as the notion of project manager. The authors concentrate on the project manager's knowledge creation and communication using the so-called theatre metaphor for conscious experience. According to this metaphor, the human brain and consciousness work together like a theatre. With the help of the metaphor, the authors describe and attempt to understand important aspects of the project manager's mental action in the above tasks.
