| Tiivistelmä: | There are different perspectives on the study of knowledge in organizations, developed in economics, sociology, anthropology and organization theory. This article follows the tradition by pointing at the effects of different organizational structures on the flow of ideas and on the possibility of combining proposals in organizations. Using computer simulations, communication structures, span of control and timing of evaluation are shown to have a large impact on the degree to which commonalities and complementarities among ideas and proposals can be detected and on the eventual combination of ideas for knowledge creation. |
