Towards knowledge networking
Abstract
In this article we describe an integrated view on knowledge management and networking being a very powerful combination for the future of knowledge management. We start by giving an overview of the increasing importance of networks in the modern economy. Subsequently, we conceptualize a network perspective on knowledge management. Therefore we first give a theoretical foundation on networks, and secondly explain the interdependences between networks and knowledge management. These reflections lead to the development of a framework for knowledge networking, where we distinguish between a microperspective and a macro‐perspective. Finally, we develop a framework for knowledge networking which can be used as a basis in order to structure and reveal interdependences. We conclude by giving some implications for management and future research.
