Knowledge coordination, competence creation and integrated networks in globalised firms
认为全球化企业的主要问题不是信息分布不均，而是难以调动和整合分散的本地化知识，并探讨了电信和协作工具如何促进透明治理与能力创造。
It is argued in this article that the main problem for the modern, globalised firm is not one primarily of the unequal distribution of information, but rather of the difficulty of mobilising and integrating fragmented forms of localised knowledge. In such a context, the role of new means of telecommunication and cooperative working is investigated. It is shown that networking favours a transparent mode of governance characterised by inter-linked actors and their continuous stimulation. Thus, the conceptualisation of the globalised firm as a collection of competences offers a framework for analysing governance mechanisms, involving the issue of incentives.
