Distributed KM - Improving Knowledge Workers?

  • Abstract

    Improving the productivity of knowledge workers is one of the most important challenges for companies that face the transition from the industrial economy to an economy based on information and knowledge (Drucker, 1999). However, most "knowledge management" efforts have failed to address this problem and focused on information management instead.
    This paper briefly explores the failure of traditional knowledge management to adress the
    problem of knowledge worker productivity and argues that a deeper understanding of knowledge work is necessary to improve it. It then explores knowledge work and how it is
    supported with information technology tools today, focussing specially on the email client as a knowledge work tool.
    The paper introduces weblogs as personal publishing tools for knowledge workers and shows how personal publishing supports knowledge work processes, is personally beneficial
    to the knowledge worker and helps the dissemination of knowledge through an organisation.

Social networks and status attainment

  • ABSTRACT

    This essay traces the development of the research enterprise, known as the social resources theory, which formulated and tested a number of propositions concerning the relationships between embedded resources in social networks and socioeconomic attainment. This enterprise, seen in the light of social capital, has accumulated a substantial body of research literature and
    supported the proposition that social capital, in terms of both access and mobilization
    of embedded resources, enhances the chances of attaining better statuses. Further, social capital is contingent on initial positions in the social
    hierarchies as well as on extensity of social ties. The essay concludes with a discussion of remaining critical issues and future research directions for this
    research enterprise.
