| Course content and structure |
|
With the rise of the internet and digital media, practices of
managing information and knowledge in organizations are in a stage
of transition away from the conventional paradigm of retrieving
information stored in silos of knowledge towards a new paradigm
based on digital networking and information construction. The
course embarks upon a journey to trace this transition by, first,
discussing the intricacies of conventional practices (e.g.
knowledge repositories, taxonomies) and the changes these practices
are going through due to digitalization. It is against this
backdrop that the course will then continue to discuss new
practices of information and knowledge management (e.g. wikis,
prediction markets) as well as the implications of these practices
on economic ventures, organized collaboration and many other
domains of social interaction.
