Abstract

To answer the challenges of globally distributed organizations facing constant transformation of work, means of ICT supported interorganizational knowledge-creation is needed. First, concept of organizational knowledge-creation is studied and further enriched with concepts of practice and object of activity to conceptualize the social and transforming nature of knowledge. Second, Change Laboratory is introduced as a theory based method of implementing local organizational knowledge-creation. An empirical case of Change Laboratory in a global organization network is presented and the envisioned ICT tools to support the transition from local to networked knowledge-creation are introduced.
