Knowledge heterogeneity and social network analysis – Towards conceptual and measurement clarifications

Knowledge Management Research & Practice, 2008, vol. 6, issue 3, 199-213

Abstract: This literature review highlights some Social Network Analysis (SNA) concepts applicable to the study of organizational knowledge and, more particularly, to knowledge heterogeneity. Knowledge being all at the same time decentralized and distributed, knowing up to what point knowledge can be heterogeneous or homogeneous across organizational units becomes as important as the question of knowing how to structure the organization. SNA applied to knowledge management thus seems a stimulant for future research in the fields of management.
