The Emergence of Learning Communities: A Theoretical Analysis

Abstract

A central issue in theories of organizational learning concerns the relation between knowledge of individuals and knowledge on the level of an organization (Cohen, 1991; Cook and Yanow, 1993; Weick and Westley, 1996). Communities form an intermediate level for learning between an organization as a whole and individual people. There, knowledge links between individuals are achieved and common knowledge is acquired. The central purpose of this chapter is to further analyse this process, in communities. One question to be explained is what types of communities there are (Bogenrieder and Nooteboom, 2002). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
