1. Conceptual Work
Master´s
thesis
(2007) in
the
field
of
Economic
Geography
with
the
topic
„
How
do
corporations
in
quickly
changing
and
knowledge intensive
service
sector
environments
optimize
their
information
-
and
knowledge
flow
?“Slide4
2. Knowledge and its
Forms
Codified
vs. non-
codified
knowledge
Possessed
vs.
practised
knowledge
Individual vs.
collective
knowledge
Genereral
vs.
specific
knowledgeSlide5
Acknowledgement
of
Knowledge
in
Organizations
Knowledge =
Accumulation
of
information
?
Can
every
knowledge
be
codified
?
Knowledge
only
on individual
basis
?
Is
there
only
possessed
knowledge?Slide6
Structures of
Knowledge
transfer
Formalized
structure
Informal
structure
InfrastructureSlide7
3. Learning and Innovation
Relationship
between
Knowlegde
, Learning
and
Innovations
Active
knowledge
exchange
Learning
effects
(
create
new
knowledge)
Innovations
(
by
new
possible
combinations
)Slide8
Individual learning – in „
Routines
“
Talent
Intelligence
Intensity
DisciplineSlide9
Collective learning – in „
Communities
“
Learning
based
on
engagement
Learning
based
on
alignment
Learning
based
on
imaginationSlide10
The
Johari
WindowSlide11
„Seven Cs of
Effective
Communication“
Completeness
Conciseness
Consideration
Concreteness
Correctness
Courtesy
ClaritySlide12
Innovations
„Sparks of Innovation are triggered by the confrontation, combination, fusion, transformation of different forms of knowledge.“
Amin
/
Cohendet
, Architectures of Knowledge (2004)Slide13
Learning by searching
(in an organizational search)
Learning by doing
and
learning by using
(
in a
trial-and-error
experimentation
)
Learning through training
and
learning by hiring
(external job rotation)
Learning
by
interacting
(
social
processes
within
a
group
)Slide14
4. Communities and Networks
Nonaka´s
4-step model
of
knowledge
generation
in „Communities
of
Practice“
Non-
codified
knowledge
is
shared
among
each
other
while
socializing
Through
articulation
, non-
codified
knowledge
becomes
codified
New
codified
knowledge
becomes
standardized
by
combining
it
with
the
old
Codified
knowledge
becomes
non-
codified
by
using
it
and
getting
used
to
itSlide15
Embedding knowledge in
networks
Relational
Embeddedness
:
2
actors
,
development
of
trust
Structural
Embeddedness
:
Several
actors
,
development
of
reputation
among
othersSlide16
Network structures
Open
networks
(not
everyone
is
connected
to
each
other
)
Closed
networks
(
everyone
is
connected
to
each
other
)Slide17
5. Knowledge and Problems
Transfering knowledge
over
spatial
distances
Knowledge
bound
to
persons
Opportunism
Moral
hazard
Political
behaviorSlide18
Nash-Pareto-ProblemPareto-Equilibrium
Nash-Equilibrium
Nash-Pareto
or
Pareto-NashSlide19
6. Implementation
Implementing
a
network
like
Wikipedia
and
MindManager will
avoid
problems
like
:
Spatial
distances
–
technical
networks
Moral
Hazard
–
information
ubiquitious
Existance
of
too
much
non-
codified
knowledge –
feeding
the
knowledge
baseSlide20
Implementing a social
network
for knowledge
transfer
is
likely
to
avoid
:
Opportunism
Politics
Misunderstandings
by
interactionSlide21
Using a proper
implemented
knowledge
network
leads
to
higher
productivity
through
Saving
Extending
Governing
Sharing
KnowledgeSlide22
