    Abstract
    Summarizes the different knowledge transfer practices that will dominate besiness and organizations in the next few years. Discusses cyberspace and the trend towards virtualization and sets out the differences between data, information, knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom. Describes the context of external cyberspace and the Internet, and dealing with a surplus of information. Discusses internal cyberspace and the use of forums, and addresses the question of the virtualization of paper based information centres

    Abstract
    The economics of information is a cross disciplinary area in which the paradigms from 2 disciplines, economics and information science, operate to influence the conceptualisation of the value of information. In this paper we investigate the relationship between information and economics through an analysis of representational literature on the value of information in both disciplines. It was concluded that whilst the search continues at a theoretical level for a conceptualisation of the value of information which can be operationalised, a pragmatic view should be taken in practice based on the level of analysis and context of examination of the value of information

    Abstract
    The paper discusses the applicability of contemporary knowledge theories to the study of information and knowledge as conditions of the survival and development of social organizations. Its relevance is connected to the importance that the variability of environmental conditions acquired from the acceleration of time and the relocation of space, as a result of the contemporary technological innovations. The majority of the managerial models, which focus on the production of information and organizational knowledge, share premises originated from a view of the world based on the myth of absolute objectivity. According to this interpretation, the organizational issue is related to the identification of procedures and rules, which enable the organizations to reach an optimal position in relation to the environmental conditions they face. Reflection on information and knowledge in organizations based on presuppositions of contemporary knowledge theories treats the relevance of circumstantial factors in the organization-environment context acknowledging the fact that the specifics in each organization are, at the same time, the contingency and the possibility of its survival. In this context, learning is not a procedure that can be normalized or generalized, but a process and a product of the survival of the organization. Keeping in mind the distance between this approach and the current patterns and methods - scientific knowledge based on the Cartesian method - the article focuses on the consequences of the hegemony of the scientific model of phenomena explanation - the myth of absolute objectivity - on the potential of the contemporary knowledge theory biology of knowing, or autopoiesis theory, by Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, which is based on the premise that, for the study of organizations, the perception of the object/phenomenon, and its interpretation, is not reachable outside the perceptive experience itself

    Abstract
    The emergence of Knowledge Management (KM) over the last decade has triggered the question how or even whether this new management discipline can be distinguished from the established field of Information Management (IM). In this paper we critically examine this demarcation issue from two angles. First we will investigate to what extent the difference between IM and KM can be anchored an a conceptual distinction between their respective objects: information and knowledge. After having shown that this widely adopted strategy promises little success, we will shift our attention to an examination of the fundamental objectives or guiding principles behind both disciplines. Seen from this angle we argue that KM in order to foster organizational learning, innovation and strategy flexibility, should adopt a postmodern epistemological perspective that is geared to the management of incommensurability and difference within and between organizations.

    Abstract
    Die Wissensstrategie versucht deshalb die Innovationsfähigkeit von Organisationen systematisch zu verbessern, mit dem Ziel, die Adaption an die Kundenbedürfnisse zu steigern. Statt lediglich einen Return on Investment (ROI) zu betrachten wird zunehmend auch ein Retum on Knowledge (ROK), d.h. eine qualitative Größe bei der Bewertung des Unternehmungserfolges eine Rolle spielen. Die Wissen-Strategie gibt dem Wissensmanagement eine konkrete Richtung und definiert, wo Wissensdefizite sind und welche neuen Wissensquellen erschlossen werden müssen. Wer Wissen in Unternehmen hortet ohne es weiterzugeben, schadet dem Unternehmen. Deshalb muß es das Ziel jeder Wissensstrategie sein, die Fähigkeiten der Mitarbeiter derart zu schulen, daß diese das Wissen mit anderen Teilnehmern teilen und gemeinsam weiterentwickeln. Da effizientes Wissens-Management auch eine intelligente Vernetzung von Unternehmen bedingt, werden Firmen, die ein zielorientiertes Management der Ressource Wissen betreiben wollen, nicht umhin kommen, ihre Unternehmensstrukturen den Hyperlink-Strukturen des Meta-Wissensnetzes Internet anzupassen. Wissen schafft Wachstum. Management von Wissen ist ein typischer Endo-Prozeß, da er innen bei den Individuen beginnt und sich mit der temporären Vernetzung zu Endo-Netzen im Rahmen von Teams oder größeren Diskussionsgruppen fortsetzt. Voraussetzung für die Generierung von neuem Wissen ist jedoch, daß die Wissensquellen frei zugänglich sind (Wissenstransparenz), daß das Wissen im Unternehmen zielgerichtet weitergereicht wird (Wissenskommunikation) und daß dieses Wissen von den Teilnehmern auch verwendet werden kann (Wissensanschlußfähigkeit).
    Da der Mensch gleichzeitig Teilnehmer der physischen Exo-Welt sowie Teilnehmer der Endo-Welt des Computers im Rahmen des Cyberspace sein kann, hat er die notwendige ExoPerspektive (Super-BeobachterStatus) gegenüber der Simulation, um die Endo-Welten weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern. Darüber hinaus erfolgreiche Problemlösungen innerhalb des Cyberspace gegebenenfalls auch auf physische Exo-Welten übertragen werden. Ein Beispiel für erfolgreiches Endo-Management sind "Community Networks", d.h. Systeme, die sich an die gesamte Bevölkerung eines lokalen Gerneinwesens richten. Derartige Conirmunities haben das Ziel, Bürgerinnen und Bürger kostenlos bzw gegen ein äußerst geringes Entgelt an den Vorteilen der direkten Kommunikation und des echtzeitorientierten Wissensaustausches partizipieren zu lassen. Die Lenkungsproblematik wird oftmals von Software-Experten ignoriert und alleinig auf technologische Problemlösungen eingeengt. Es gibt jedoch keine Algorithmen für Communities, da diese sich durch die Wechselwirkung der Teilnehmer selbst organisieren und ständig neue Interfaces designen. Das Endo-Management von "Cornmunity-Networks" basiert hierbei auf folgenden Erfolgscharakteristiken: dauerhafte Identitäten, fortgesetzte Interaktion, Anschlußfähigkeit an vorhergehende Kommunikation, Transparenz der Handlungen der einzelnen Teilnehmer, eindeutige Spielregeln, eine relativ stabile Population, wohl definierte Grenzen sowie einen Mehrwert für die Teilnehmer, der in sozialen Bindungen oder einer Erhöhung des Wissens besteht

    Abstract
    Data lacks value by itself, it needs to be processed into information. There are 2 types of organizational information: operational and management information systems. Details how the value of these types of information are measured. Explains the normative or information-economics approach to valuing information which attempts to quantify the incremental value of the decisions made with new information. Details the different types of decision assistance systems that can be provided. Describes the weaknesses of the realistic and the subjective value of information approach

    Abstract
    The concept of knowledge management is becoming increasingly prevalent in academic and vocational literature. Reviews the conceptual foundations of knowledge management starting with a conceptual clarification of knowledge relative to data and information. Discusses the characteristics in terms of forms, levels and categories of knowlegde. Against this background seeks a definition of knowledge management which is compared with information management
