Abstract

Creating new knowledge is a core process in managing and enabling knowledge especially though socialisation in social networks.The social nature of social technologies and knowledge creation attracts research on knowledge creation in social networks.Social technologies a less costly but yet collaborative and diverse platforms for social networking, creating new knowledge and leveraging personal and collective knowledge.Building a knowing organisation may extend beyond knowledge sharing into creation of new knowledge.This paper explores existing aspects regarding joint creation of knowledge "knowledge co-creation" in social networks.The paper demonstrates how the empirical ideas on cocreation can be useful in exploring knowledge co-creation.This discussion explores and introduces the scope of knowledge co-creation in online social networks.We derive a typology of knowledge co-creation that suggests pathways and hypothetical propositions into exploring knowledge co-creation of in social networks.
