| Course content and structure |
|
The course addresses the key challenge of sharing and
communicating knowledge in organizational settings by critically
examining theoretical concepts and empirical cases. In detail, the
course aims to provide provisional answers to some very basic
questions: what is “knowledge”, what is “knowledge communication”,
why is it a problem, how did it become one, and what can we do
about it? Having sketched the big picture, a number of theories and
concepts are introduced that offer a more nuanced understanding of
specific problem areas, such as the causes for miscommunication
between so-called “experts” and “lay-people” or between members of
different occupational and organizational subcultures. Against this
backdrop, notions like “boundary objects” and “communities of
practice” will be discussed as they afford alternative approaches
towards similar problems. Throughout, the focus will shift back and
forth between explaining problems in theory and addressing them in
practice.
