Autopoiesis & Knowledge Management Research
Optimising the knowledge management environment in organisationsRecent research shows that most organisations understand the need to adopt KM initiatives, and they recognise that KM evolved to fill a business need that was not being met. However, our research has shown that the lack of a theoretical foundation for KM can cause problems such as incorrect expectatinons about what KM can deliver. This research sets about using the biological theory of autopoiesis to underlie KM with a conceptual foundation capable of alleviating problems such as inadequate definitions of knowledge.
Since 2005 I have been researching the application of autopoiesis to knowledge management and organisational learning. I have published widely in the area [read papers] and am currently combining this research into the new area of making organisations knowing.
