- 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 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
- 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).
