Description of the research topic:
The exploration, processing and transfer of relevant kinds of knowledge can be found in all organisational operation in some form. Therefore, the understanding of spontaneous and/or controlled nature of these processes and how organisations’ established routines enhances or impedes the reflective management of such knowledge has both scientific and theoretical relevance.
Research projects can look scrutinize the management of knowledge in the organisation from various angles.
At an individual level, it is interesting to find out who are those who are willing to share their knowledge. If these people play key roles in knowledge management, it should be of interest to identify what individual (psychological, socio-demographic) traits they have and what organisational and/or network position they hold within the particular organisation.
From an organisational and socio-psychological viewpoint, it should be worth looking at what environmental conditions support the spreading of knowledge at the workplace, in addition to how different forms of knowledge are reconciled within an organisation in the case of product or service development, for instance.
A methodological approach would suggest the exploration of the above issues/questions through case studies, with ethnographic or mixed tools or with participatory methods.
Expected output/outcome of research: During the research the Phd student will be able to understand the relationships of knowledge and organisational operation, she will be able to assess and analyse how organisation manage knowledge. Moreover, she will be able to use the chosen and utilised methodology with great confidence.
