Learning Organization and Knowledge Management
(My Research Interest)
I have now accumulated a whole host of sites on this topic. The field has really exploded in the 1990s, and more and more companies, consultants, and academics are expressing/advertising their views over the Web.
So I am now in the process of changing the format! Click the above heading to get my entire "library" of links. In the coming weeks, I will clean-up the format to include summaries and evaluations/reviews of various sites. I will also soon publish my extensive reading list of books and articles.
*This site was listed, amongst many other useful resources in Knowledge Management, in The Knowledge Management Yearbook 1999-2000 (thanks to Robert Magnan for compiling the list and including mine!!!)
*Page last changed on August 21, 2005
Thanks for your support, contributions, and comments over this year of continuous building, learning, and creation!
Please send email (by clicking here) if you have other links/suggestions not included here. Also let me know how this resource may have helped you. Make sure you tell your friends and tell these sites that you first saw them here!

"Discovering and exploiting opportunities is a challenge for organizations. It requires new knowledge to be combined with existing competencies. Three related perspectives will be discussed to examine how to create a favourable context for individuals/employees to take initiatives to pursue opportunities. The organizational learning perspective gives insights into the enabling factors for knowledge creation. New knowledge has to be discovered and recombined in order to develop innovative solutions. The network perspective is of interest because it focuses on the role of ‘who you know’ in the search for new knowledge. The position of the actor in the network as well as the type of ties, weak or strong, have an impact on his access to new information. Networks not only give access to new information, they provide firms (in particular innovative start-ups) access to communities. Recent research into the industrial and organizational community perspective stresses that the emergence of new industries requires numerous roles from the diverse set of entrepreneurs and organizations, both public and private. Interactions between the various players in a community and information sharing between them, plays an important role in organizational learning processes. In addition, participation in these communities may provide legitimacy to innovative initiatives."
