| Abstract: | Argues that informational arrangement may make an organization less of a cumbersome machine by exteriorizing organizational processes on screen, making them transparent, witnessable and (reflexively) self-changing. The platform organization addresses how some organizations - global investment banks engaged in institutional currency trading and big science collaborations engaged in high energy physics knowledge production - implement a transparency regime of information that extends to local and implicit knowledge. In other words, through being exteriorized, knowledge is kept current, alive and distributed in the respective organizations; to a significant degree, it is effectively precluded from becoming implicit and embodied in places and persons. |
