Towards Learning Collaborative Networked Organizations

Abstract

The concept of Learning Collaborative NeMorked Organizations merges both the CNO and the LO paradigms. It aims at augmenting the quality of decisionmaking and of corporate governance taking inter-organizational knowledge into account. The rationale behind the proposal is that CNOs are still lacking research and work for enhancing their agility where rapid decision-making is crucial for achieving their goals. In this paper knowledge management is proposed as an approach for tackling this problem. The paper presents the first step for a Famework for gathering information and for generating new knowledge dynamical/v according to what users needfor given situations. The corporate knowledge is retained, organized, shared and re-used to the benefit of individuals and ofCNO as well as oltheir re.'pectit'e members.

Value Creation Elements in Learning Collaborative Networked Organizations

“…VO-I is seen as the process of gathering the information and knowledge from past VOs, whereas VO-I Management is the process that manages what has been inherent about given VOs, usually supported by computer systems, for enhancing the CNO behavior (VBE or PCV) (Loss et al, 2007b). It comprises a continuous improvement of business processes and rules, as well as the quality of the final products and/or services.…”

“…An initial work towards a framework for L-CNO was proposed in a previous work (Loss et al, 2007b), which was based on VO-I foundations combined with Knowledge Management (KM) and Organizational Learning (OL) areas. This framework's goal aimed supporting CNOs to learn and to create value.…”

“…Successful and unsuccessful situations might be noted down for future retrieval. Under the Knowledge Management perspective, briefing and debriefing cover the distribution, creation and evolution of the knowledge (Loss et al, 2007b). It also supports the creation of economic value by reducing costs when saving time and resources with the results of these mechanisms.…”
