Well, we made it. And what a crazy ride it was. At the center of this semester was the pool of articles we had to choose from for each blog post. For most of the semester I would simply go through the list until a title caught my eye. I would look it up and …

Web 2.0 Implications on how prior knowledge affects social capital and the organizational advantage

This week I began by looking as the Web 2.0 with an article by Moria Levy. Web 2.0 Implications on Knowledge Management was written in 2007 and thus was an interesting peak at what people thought would happen in this internet age and, more specifically, if web 2.0 could be used as a knowledge management …

Why Should I Share? Examining Wikis as a Use of Information and Communication Technology

Why Should I Share? by Molly Wasko and Samer Faraj fully grabbed my interest if for no other reason than this was one of the few times real world examples immediately presented themselves to me. Wasko and Faraj study how social capital impacts knowledge contributions in electronic networks. They seem utterly baffled as to why …

The impact of trust and reputation on Informational Cities: from Fordism to Gatesism

This week let us dive right into the concept of the information society. The Information Society: From Fordism to Gatesism by Gaetan Tremblay challenges this concept. “Before jumping to the conclusion that a radical change in the economy and society is taking place, it strikes me as necessary to consider other possible interpretations of present …

A Tale of Two Hurricanes: Information Sharing and Trust During Major Incidents and the Limits of the Community of Practice

Another title for this week could be the studies of “no shit.” Two of the articles I read are on knowledge management and information sharing within a disaster situation. First up is “A tale of two hurricanes” by Alton Chua. I had been interested in this article from the start but for some reason had …

The Use of Different Social Media, Knowledge, and Knowledge Management in the Information Society

Social media and the information society. I finally found something that has really peaked my interest in this course, namely the role of social media as a tool for knowledge management. While my initial forays into the social media world were dampened by the article by Bharati et al. (see my first post), Chua and …

Sharing Knowledge Transfer(red) Expertise: competitive advantage through organizational stories

This was a knowledge transfer heavy week. I am going to begin with an article that I had to reread a few times and still feel as if I have jumped into the deep end with weights on my ankles. I can’t help but get the feeling I am not the intended audience for Sharing …

Outsourcing Organizational Customer Knowledge

I took a little time since my last blog post to finish reading our class text: The Tacit Dimension by M. Polanyi (2009). I have been a silent observer as I work through this information. At the suggestion of one of my classmates I read Polanyi, walked away for a few days, and then came …

Bridging Epistemologies of Knowledge, Knowledge Work and Organizations with Social Media

My journey into knowledge management begins with readings by Cook, Blackler, and Bharati. I’m not entirely sure why I decided I should start by reading about epistemologies, social media, and knowledge work, but here we are. (We shall see how long I can combine all titles into one for the blog.) I found the article …
