Managing networks of communities of practice for Organizational knowledge creation A Knowledge Management imperative in the era of globalization
Annales Des Télécommunications, 2007Co-Authors: Takaya KawamuraAbstract:This article explores some imperatives of Knowledge Management for Organizational knowledge creation in the era of globalization. As the transformation of Knowledge Management practices of Japanese firms in 1990s shows, Nonaka and TakeuchVs original model of Organizational knowledge creation needs to be expanded by incorporating the concept of “community of practice” as the “engine” of knowledge creation. As an attempt for such expansion, it proposes a model of knowledge-Creating Organization as a self-organizing network of interactive, overlapping, and self-managing communities of practice.This article also explores some Organizational conditions and managerial implications to prevent “malfunction” of communities of practice in the threats of globalization and to facilitate their dynamic evolution. Knowledge-Creating Organizations and their managers need to give due recognition to and support for “differences” that exist not only among diverse communities of practices but also within each communities. At a micro level approach, they need to “empower” community members by encouraging “ story-telling” or “narrative” of members’ lives in the communities and by assuring “transparency” of activities and resources to the members. As a macro level approach, they need to develop a “communitarian” Organizational structure that fits to Organizational knowledge creation in “multiculturalization” of societies.RésuméL’article explore quelques impératifs en gestion des connaissances permettant la création de connaissances par les organisations à l’ère de la mondialisation. Comme le montre la transformation des pratiques de gestion des connaissances dans les firmes japonaises au cours des années 1990, le modèle original de création de connaissances par les organisations, dû à Nonaka et Takeuchi, doit être étendu en incorporant le concept de communauté de pratiques en tant que moteur de la création de connaissances. L’article tente une telle extension en proposant un modèle d’organisation créatrice de connaissances sous la forme d’un réseau auto-organisateur de communautés de pratiques à la fois interactives, se chevauchant et s’autogérant. L’article explore aussi quelques conditions organisationnelles et implications de gestion qui évitent un mauvais fonctionnement des communautés de pratiques sous les menaces de la mondialisation et qui facilitent leur évolution dynamique. Les organisations créatrices de connaissances et leurs dirigeants doivent pleinement reconnaître et soutenir les différences qui existent non seulement entre les diverses communautés mais à l’intérieur de chacune d’elles. Au niveau “micro”, ils doivent renforcer les membres des communautés en encourageant les récits et narrations de la vie des membres et en assurant la transparence des activités et ressources. Au niveau “macro”, ils doivent développer une structure organisationnelle communautaire qui soit adaptée à la création de connaissances dans un cadre multiculturel.

Creating Organization Name Authority within an Electronic Resources Management System
Library Resources & Technical Services, 2009Co-Authors: Kristen Blake, Jacquie SamplesAbstract:Staff members at North Carolina State University (NCSU) Libraries have identified the need for name authority control within E-Matrix, a locally developed electronic resources management (ERM) system, to support collection intelligence, the process of collecting, collocating, and analyzing data associated with a collection to gain a sophisticated understanding of its qualities for strategic planning and decision making. This paper examines the value of establishing authority control over Organization names within an ERM system in addition to describing NCSU’s design for conducting name authority work in E-Matrix. A discussion of the creation of a name authority tool within E-Matrix is provided along with illustrations and examples of workflow design and implementation for the assignment of authoritative headings. Current practices related to authority control and ERM systems in academic libraries and within Organizations such as the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) are also investigated and summarized to provide context for this project. Future possibilities for the use of this type of authority control on the part of librarians, vendors, and standards bodies are explored.

how to mitigate risks of bullying invasion while Creating Organization s future under high uncertainty
Management Theory and Studies for Rural Business and Infrastructure Development, 2018Co-Authors: Eglė Stonkutė, Jolita VveinhardtAbstract:Organizations are constantly reinventing themselves and going through continuous Organizational changes what, if mismanaged, can result in bullying. If bullying is mismanaged it can result in disfunctioning Organizational processes. The main aim of this research is to develop theoretical framework on how to mitigate the risks of bullying invasion while Creating Organization‘s future under high uncertainty. The theoretical analysis of Organization’s future creation and that of bullying in a context of high uncertainty is undertaken. It is revealed that to cope with the potential “side effects” of continuous strategic changes, Organizations need to institutionalize bullying, ensure effective information sharing and communication.

Predatory Value Extraction - The Business Enterprise as a Value-Creating Organization
Predatory Value Extraction, 2019Co-Authors: William Lazonick, Jang-sup ShinAbstract:This chapter presents a theoretical perspective—the Theory of Innovative Enterprise—that enables us to understand the evolving relation between value creation and value extraction. The Theory of Innovative Enterprise posits that business enterprises are central to the achievement of stable and equitable economic growth and offers an analytical framework for understanding the processes of value creation and value extraction as prime micro-level determinants of macroeconomic outcomes. Specifically, it analyzes the dynamic interaction of three social conditions of innovative enterprise—strategic control, Organizational integration, and financial commitment—in determining both the value-Creating capability of a business enterprise—its ability to generate higher-quality products at lower unit costs—and the distribution of value created by the enterprise among participants in the value-creation process. It provides a rigorous and relevant alternative to the prevailing market-based theories of the firm.
