Managing collaborative information sharing: bridging research on information culture and collaborative information behaviour

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to combine insights of collaborative information behaviour and information cultures in organizations to bridge different aspects of managing knowledge-creation and information sharing in order to highlight the importance of supporting collaborative handling within business environments.This paper is a literature review and a theoretical discussion on the influence of information culture and information practices in the context of managing collaborative information sharing in work settings. The review underlines how information culture affects different processes within a knowledge organization. It also explores how collaborative information handling processes are related to work practices. It is clearly fruitful to integrate these perspectives of IC and CIB giving good grounds for developing both lines of research further, posing important questions for empirical work.
