Autopoietic Knowledge System: An Alternative Way to See Project-based Company -- Project Business -- Systemic View and Systems Thinking -- Autopoiesis -- Epistemological Assumptions -- Knowledge Dividend -- Evolution and Learning -- Components of the Project-based Company When it is Regarded as an Autopoietic Knowledge System -- Two Major Knowledge Flows -- Project-based Company as an Autopoietic Knowledge System.

All companies draw on resources outside the business, and have to compete with other enterprises to attract these resources. Standard texts on management and organization argue that the best way to get ahead in business is by getting a firm grasp of this external environment, by 'representing' it internally. Kaj Koskinen claims that this is the wrong approach. He argues that business knowledge doesn't just represent the world outside the company but is a construction of the company and the people working in it. The success of a company depends less on how clearly it represents the external environment than on factors such as institutional memory, a culture of trust and appropriate organizational mechanisms for learning. In short, the most successful companies are those which are what the author calls autopoietic knowledge systems. In this book, he presents a novel scheme for understanding knowledge creation and learning in project-based enterprises. He shows how autopoietic knowledge systems can be built and the benefits they can bring. All scholars and students of knowledge management will benefit from the radical new approach to business organization presented in this book. It will also be of great interest to knowledge managers looking to understand how they can drive their businesses forward.
