摘要:The term 'smart' organization is sometimes used as a synonym for networked organizations and their ability to provide access to profiled competencies and knowledge. While network is a structural metaphor for relationships that exceed the hierarchical model, this special issue is concerned with the evolution of creative environments where learning processes can evolve and new capabilities can develop. A number of companies are changing their traditional work environments. We build on insights on how new work environments are characterized by knowledgeable, productive, and flexible employees, who contribute significantly to firm competitiveness through innovation (Kleinknecht & Mohnen, 2002) and that such employees are supported by ICT that supports mobility, context- and location-awareness, networking and ambient interfaces (Malone, 2004). In short, we depart from the observation that communication possibilities have improved high quality collaboration between people across traditional boundaries. Businesses are no longer tied to a single integrated zone.
