| Abstract: | Knowledge and the processes generating and managing knowledge have become key factors in creating competitive business advantage. Challenges facing contemporary global societies, however, call for an expanded research agenda in the field of knowledge management. "Knowledge is power" - and it is up to those with access to knowledge to decide if that power will continue to be used over others to increase the gap btw. rich and poor etc. From an evolutionary systems perspective, this paper explores some of the implications and key contributions that knowledge management can make for the transition toward sustainable forms of social organization. The heuristic of evolutionary learning community is presented as a participatory strategy for promoting learning and knowledge creation for evolutionary development. |
