Knowledge, Learning, Community
This is one of these items that I read and ask myself whether there is an e-learning application. The main idea is that the most effective organization is one that is decentralized (networked, to use this article's terminology) but which can work in a centrally organized way where possible. This leads to a survey of four dimensions of network organization: the connection of workers with both hardware and collaboration software; the evolution of a community through dialogue; the evolution of a problem in the community space; and the development of a problem portfolio. I can just see somebody structuring an article about online learning communities around this model.
