Knowledge management combined with networking is increasingly important in the modern economy, offering powerful future opportunities. The article aims to conceptualize and develop a framework for knowledge networking that structures and reveals interdependencies between networks and knowledge management. The authors provide a theoretical foundation on networks, explain their interdependence with knowledge management, and develop a micro‑ and macro‑perspective framework for knowledge networking. The resulting framework offers implications for management practice and directions for future research.
In this article we describe an integrated view on knowledge management and networking being a very powerful combination for the future of knowledge management. We start by giving an overview of the increasing importance of networks in the modern economy. Subsequently, we conceptualize a network perspective on knowledge management. Therefore we first give a theoretical foundation on networks, and secondly explain the interdependences between networks and knowledge management. These reflections lead to the development of a framework for knowledge networking, where we distinguish between a microperspective and a macro‐perspective. Finally, we develop a framework for knowledge networking which can be used as a basis in order to structure and reveal interdependences. We conclude by giving some implications for management and future research.
