Codification and Personification as Separate StrategiesGammelgård, Jens; Ritter, Thomas (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Abstract Previous discussions of knowledge transfer within multinational corporations tended to focus on the process as an isolated phenomenon and on the factors that impede the process. Less attention has been given to how the individual knowledge worker retrieves or identifies, and then decodes knowledge accessed from the corporate memory. We suggest that multinational companies (MNCs) solve knowledge retrieval problems by implementing virtual communities of practice - intranet-based collaborative forums. Codification and personalization strategies have previously been emphasized as an either-or solution. These virtual communities of practice combine the codification and personalization strategies, simultaneously utilizing the advantages of two approaches.

Abstract: Previous discussions of knowledge transfers within multinational corporations (MNC’s) tended to focus on the process as an isolated phenomenon, and the factors that impede these transfers. Less attention has been given to the identification and personal codification processes of knowledge prior to transfer. A model for understanding how knowledge is retrieved in MNC’s is proposed in this paper, with a specific focus on the retrieval of information located in information technology (IT) systems. The model is derived from (1) a critical examination of knowledge management theory, and (2) the empirical research results gathered from Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). Our survey of CSC reveals that the company is able to overcome the problem of identifying valuable knowledge in a geographical dispersed organization by establishing virtual communities of practice via its portal system. Virtual communities of practice are seen as a combination of the codification and the personalization strategies in this paper. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6551 Files in this item: 1

En nøgle til velfærd og velstandRitter, Thomas; Geersbro, Jens (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Diskussionen om Danmarks fremtid som velfærdstat er i fuld gang – og har været det i et stykke tid. På det seneste har en ny rapport fra OECD tegnet et dystert billede for Danmark, idet landets produktivitet fortsat er for nedadgående. Så det store spørgsmål er nu endnu mere aktuelt: Hvad skal Danmark leve af i fremtiden for at bevare og udbygge velfærd og velstand? For at belyse dette spørgsmål fokuserer en stor del af diskussionen på ”produktivitet” som nøglen til velfærd og velstand. Vi vil i denne rapport argumentere for en supplerende faktor, som vi mener er af endnu større betydning end selve produktiviteten: Danmark kan og skal leve af kommercialiseringevnen. Evnen til at kommercialisere dækker over virksomheders aktiviteter til at tjene penge med deres ydelser (produkter, service, m.v.). Kort sagt handler kommercialisering om at forstå kundernes behov og værdiskabelse, matche denne indsigt med ydelser, og bygge passende relationer med kunder for at forklare værdi. Hvor god en virksomhed er til kommercialisering kan måles som: Kommercialiseringsefficens = Omsætning / ydelser. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8596 Files in this item: 1
