Knowledge Ecology: Knowledge Ecosystems for Business Education and Training Dr. Paul Shrivastava Howard I. Scott Professor of Management Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA 17837 Tel: 717-524-1821; Fax 717-524-1338 email: shrivast@bucknell.edu Abstract This paper proposes a knowledge ecology framework for organizational learning and knowledge management. This framework is applied to the business education and training industry. The paper describes the Socrates Program, as an example of a knowledge ecosystem for business education. Based on its early implementation experience, several implementation barriers are identified. Future research needs for developing and implementing organizational knowledge ecologies are discussed. Key Words: Knowledge, Ecology, Education Knowledge Ecology: Knowledge Ecosystems for Business Education and Training There are several reasons behind the emergence of knowledge management as a strategic issue. A central reason is the advent of what some people are calling the "the digital economy". This is the economy of the future based on information technologies, computers, and telecommunications technologies. It is building around the Internet, WWW, e-commerce, and information services. The digital economy both enables and requires organizations to continually learn new knowledge and systematically deploy it for value creation (Pinchot and Pinchot, 1994; Quinn, 1992; Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995). The digital economy implies fundamental changes in the way business is organized and conducted in every functional area. Electronic commerce is large and growing rapidly with over a million businesses already engaged in it, in some form. It is enabling global distribution of goods and services. It is integrating order processing with production scheduling. It is eliminating intermediatory structures in the distribution of products. Convergence of computing, communications and content is reinventing wealth creation through services. Web based training and performance evaluation is changing the way human resources are admitted, accounted for, and transformed in organizations. In brief, the digital economy prioritizes the centrality of information and knowledge for all organizations. It makes knowledge management a strategic issue (Linstone and Mitroff, 1994; Negroponte, 1995; Tapscott, 1997).
