That’s why it matters: How knowing creates value
探讨知识如何通过行动创造价值，提出四种价值创造类型（克隆、人才丰富、资源丰富和协同者），并分析每种类型中的权力动态，对知识管理研究者有参考价值。
This article develops our understanding of how knowing creates value.It contributes to the interactionist perspectives on knowledge in three particular ways: first, it recognizes that knowledge is only valuable when it is enacted, i.e. know-how-in-action (KHiA). Second, it develops a typology of value creating options, i.e. clones, talent rich, resource rich and synergists, which represent multiple options that we can enact. These value creating types are sensitive to the socio-systemic and personal nature of knowing. Finally, it addresses the power dynamics within each value creating option. This lens re-introduces the individual power dynamics which impact on future value-creating processes.
