450506 - This record supports analysis on 001207 and later on 001221 showing

450520 - combination of failure and fear that accompanies falling stock prices,
450521 - and awareness of the SDS record on the Internet, exemplified by the
450522 - record on 010428, ref SDS 15 0001, the demand for moving from
450523 - information to a culture of knowledge, proposed on 001011 in a letter
450524 - to SRI, ref SDS 2 0001, will grow strong enough to overcome
450525 - ignorance, fear and denial that enables transition from IT to KM, just
