| Jeremy's Masters Thesis | |
|
In 1996-1997 I attended Carleton University in Ottawa Canada and achieved my
Masters in Management Studies (roughly equivalent to an MBA with the
addition of a thesis). My thesis was entitled "Management of
Knowledge in High-Technology: Balancing Deliverables with
Learning".
In a nutshell, my research looked at organizational structure and its affect on the ability for companies to accumulate and maintain knowledge. The idea being that certain structures were prone to "forgetting what they learned" and others were more efficient at producing deliverables. These two dimensions as it turns out were somewhat mutually exclusive. The question I asked was... Can the use of technology, such as knowledge management tools, make that compromise more attractive?

If you'd like to take a read at the Thesis, it is published! But finding a printed copy might be a bit of a challenge, so I'll include an E-copy here. Warning... It is 175 pages long!
