While searching for knowledge management I came across a very interesting fact that many companies have CoP’s within their organizations where the members work towards making the 'knowledge reusable' by other members and also making repositories of documents and it is also categorized. Thus they filter the information for newcomers(Laundon&Laudon, 2007). Also CoP’s provide the new entrants with ready made precise issue matter and already decided tools and methods of the CoP. Thus CoP’s many times act as the horizon for the 'emergence of new techniques and also crucial decisions' for that organization.
Below is a very interesting paper by Etienne Wenger on how CoP’s can be used by Organizations to find Knowledge management strategies. It’s a must read for all of us….
