Organizational Epistemology
This book presents an in-depth perspective of knowledge as a fundamental process of any organization rather than just another resource to be managed. The author presents a process-oriented theory of creating and applying knowledge directed towards both researchers and practitioners. In this book the author develops normative knowledge management guidelines which draw from a unique view on knowledge, discussed in the field of philosophy since Plato but neglected by most knowledge management authors – by applying a philosophically grounded ‘social epistemology’ to organizations. The guidelines in this book call for an open and reflective space of knowledge creation, aligned with goals and structures of the organization. Numerous examples, field studies, and an application to the main case study on Seven-Eleven Japan complement both the descriptive view on knowledge as well as the normative guidelines presented in this book.
The Permanence of the Transient
How should one approach the notion of the precarious in art – its meanings and its outcomes? Its presence in artistic practices may be transient, yet it instigates permanent changes in the production, discourse, and perception of art. The Permanence of the Transient: Precariousness in Art gathers essays that examine the traces and implications of precariousness in contemporary art, and lays a foundation for a thoughtful study of its emergence in related fields throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The different perspectives represented in this volume touch on art history and theory, curatorial practice, media art, philosophy, language, and transnational studies, and highlight artists’ narratives. Together, these interdisciplinary essays locate precariousness as an undercurrent in contemporary art and a connective tissue across diverse areas of knowledge and everyday life.
The New Natural Resource
Increasingly in the public discourse there are references to the knowledge economy, knowledge society, knowledge workers and knowledge organisations. The argument is that knowledge is becoming the main economic resource, replacing the natural resources that drove the industrial revolution. The new knowledge economy is driven by knowledge development, innovation and highly skilled employees. Increasing investment in higher education and in universities is in line with this strategy and understanding. In an earlier book, Creating Collaborative Advantage edited with Richard Ennals, Professor Hans Christian Garmann Johnsen argued that it is knowledge that links social and economic processes. He ...
Eindeutig mehrdeutig
Ob Gesellschaft, Wissenschaft oder Religion: Nicht selten reagieren alle drei auf die ungelösten und komplexen Fragen der Spätmoderne mit eindeutigen Antworten. Dabei scheint gerade der konstruktive Umgang mit Vielfalt und Ambiguität notwendig und vielversprechend. Dieser Band versucht die Beschäftigung mit Ambiguität und Ambiguitätstoleranz als Merkmal und Herausforderung für gesellschaftliche Differenzierungsprozesse anzuregen. Die fachlichen Expertisen aus der Psychologie, Philosophie, Soziologie, Linguistik und den Geschichtswissenschaften dienen dazu, das Konzept von Ambiguität für die Theologie attraktiv und fruchtbar zu machen und gleichzeitig dessen Relevanz für den breiter...

Wie sollten sie aussehen, die Museen der Zukunft? Und welche Bedeutung hat Innovation für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung von Kultureinrichtungen? Der Band versammelt hierzu Beiträge führender Persönlichkeiten aus der Museums- und Kulturlandschaft, die aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln zukunftsweisende Methoden und Ansätze für die Arbeit in Museen aufzeigen.

Die über 50 Expert*innen aus dem In- und Ausland, darunter namhafte Kulturpolitiker*innen und Kulturwissenschaftler*innen sowie zahlreiche Praktiker*innen aus Heimatvereinen, Kultureinrichtungen und Kulturprojekten, diskutieren die Risiken und Potenziale einer Kultur- als Heimatpolitik.
Digital Cultural Heritage
This book provides an overview of various application spheres and supports further innovations needed in information management and in the processes of knowledge generation. The professions, organizations and scientific associations involved are unusually challenged by the complexity of the data situation. Cartography has always been the central field of application for georeferencing digital cultural heritage (DCH) objects. It is particularly important in enabling spatial relation analysis between any number of DCH objects or of their granular details. In addition to the pure geometric aspects, the cognitive relations that lead to knowledge representation and derivation of innovative use pr...

Chapters cover subjects such as gender, religion, race, new media and microhistory, presenting biography as as a research methodology suited not only for historians but also for explorations i...
