Style and strategy: new metaphors, new insights
Article Abstract:
The management of business strategy should be viewed in terms of a conversation which is unstructured. This can be described as a dialogis, and many insights can be gained from academic disciplines. The questions one asks are influenced by one's viewpoint. A new synthesis can emerge through a dialogue with people who do not share one's views. The dialogue is important, and no particular perspective holds the right answer. Discontinuities can prove valuable and companies can learn from mistakes.

Transfer of knowledge and the information processing professions
Article Abstract:
the idea of information should be reassessed by managers. There is a difference between information and meaningful knowledge. Tradition is one way of transmitting knowledge. Information itself is meaningless and has little value in a commercial sense. Facts do not speak for themselves but have to be interpreted to become knowledge. Knowledge is geared toward action and has dynamic qualities. Managers who understand these distinctions are well placed to operate in information markets.

Managing context in enterprise knowledge processes
Article Abstract:
Enterprise knowledge can be generated from the outside going inwards by meshing together parameters and features. This process can be aimed at backing the self-organization of client companies. Systems can be addressed as they are defined by observers. A trial study of nichepicking has shown that self-organization of companies can be helped by using building strategies based on structured knowledge. Tabular displays can help when making comparisons.
