Collaborative Knowledge Networks
Stephen A. Evans, Norman Roth · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2006
This chapter outlines the emergence of collaborative knowledge networks (CKN) as a response to today’s business environment. While focusing on the social characteristics of collaboration, basic premises and working principles for cross-organizational collaboration between individuals are presented and subsequently transformed into challenges and recommendations for new forms of organizations. A case study on Skandia’s GOLD community illustrates the findings.
