| Title: | Can Knowledge Management be Open Source? |
| Authors: | C. Pfaff, Charmaine Jr
Hasan, Helen Jr |
| Abstract: | As we move further into a knowledge economy where collaboration
and innovation are increasingly central to organisational effectiveness,
enterprises need to pay more attention to the informal networks that exist
within the organisation. Wikis may provide a more appropriate knowledge
management capability and environment to capture tacit knowledge. Where
traditional organisational cultures see that knowledge management must be
tightly protected, Wikis opt for an open source approach where knowledge is
shared and distributed for innovation to continue. This paper aims to explicate
more participatory organisational processes of creation, accumulation and
maintenance of knowledge. It uses Activity Theory as a framework to describe
the components of an activity system where a Wiki is a tool mediating
employee-based knowledge management activities and thereby democratising
organisational knowledge. |
