Managing Knowledge Integration Across Boundaries de Fredrik Tell

Managing Knowledge Integration Across Boundaries

Editat de Fredrik Tell Autor Christian Berggren, Stefano Brusoni, Andrew Van de Ven
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 dec 2016

Ceea ce diferențiază Managing Knowledge Integration Across Boundaries de alte lucrări de management este rigoarea cu care tratează integrarea cunoștințelor nu doar ca pe un proces intern, ci ca pe o problemă fundamentală de 'frontieră'. Remarcăm faptul că autorii nu se limitează la bune practici generale, ci analizează modul în care fluiditatea dintre domeniile de expertiză și instituțiile aferente devine o presiune competitivă constantă. Apreciem structura volumului, care echilibrează teoria solidă cu studii empirice, oferind un set coerent de instrumente pentru a naviga între inovația deschisă și strategia de business.

Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Knowledge Integration and Innovation de Christian Berggren va găsi aici cadrul teoretic extins necesar pentru a înțelege de ce granițele organizaționale devin adesea obstacole în calea performanței. În timp ce alte titluri se concentrează pe colaborarea interdisciplinară, volumul de față, publicat de OUP OXFORD, investighează rădăcinile fragmentării cunoștințelor în economia globală. Credem că valoarea adăugată rezidă în capacitatea autorilor de a demonstra că supraviețuirea unei firme depinde de abilitatea de a sintetiza expertiza distribuită geografic și organizațional. Este o lectură densă, cu un ton academic autoritar, care solicită atenție, dar care recompensează managerul sau cercetătorul cu o înțelegere profundă a mecanismelor de integrare în medii tehnologice cu ritm rapid.

Descriere

Knowledge integration - the purposeful combination of specialized and complementary knowledge to achieve specific tasks - is becoming increasingly important for organizations facing rapidly changing institutional environments, globalized markets, and fast-paced technological developments. The need for knowledge integration is driven by knowledge specialization and its geographic and organizational distribution in the global economy. The increasing complexity and relevance of the knowledge integration problem is apparent in emerging new fields of research, such as open innovation, or the merging of existing ones, e.g. organizational learning and strategy. In global competition, the successful management of knowledge integration underpins firms' ability to innovate, generate profit, grow and, ultimately, survive. This book provides conceptual contributions as well as empirical studies that examine knowledge integration essentially as a 'boundary' problem. Knowledge integration becomes a problem when boundaries between knowledge fields, and the institutions that preside over those fields, are not clear, or become fluid and contestable. This fluidity, and the competitive pressures this fluidity generates, are persistent and permanent features of the world we live in. This book puts forward a consistent set of ideas, methods and tools useful to interpret, analyze and act upon the processes of knowledge integration across boundaries.

Recenzii

While it is popular to say that we live in an increasingly 'boundary-less' world, in reality, people in organizations face numerous boundaries in their everyday workgeographic, functional, divisional, cultural, intellectual, etc. This book offers both theoretical and practical insights into how people can manage across or through these boundaries in order to integrate knowledge.
In the age of open innovation, it is clearer than ever that no firm is an 'island'. However, that important truth does not negate another fundamental property that boundarieswhether between firms, work groups, or national bordershave consequences for the flow of knowledge. This volume by Tell, Berggren, Brusoni, and Van de Ven provide a conceptually sophisticated and empirically rich account of these tensions and challenges.
Knowledge may be power, but fragmented knowledge can be disempowering. Finding ways to integrate increasingly specialized, distributed and incomplete knowledge across boundaries is one of the most pressing issues in late modern societieshardly any social or economic problem is effectively addressed unless diverse streams of knowledge are systematically shared and integrated. This is the best book I have seen on this important topic. There is much to admire in it: the diversity of perspectives, the empirical richness, and the theoretical robustness are all evident. It breaks new ground in how we understand knowledge integration.
