Tratti evolutivi della società della conoscenza : il contributo degli studi sulle reti nella prospettiva sistemica

The paper analyses the evolution in knowledge management in order to identify patterns and perspectives useful to improve the effectiveness of managerial processes. The contribution offered by the literature is analysed by adopting the Social Networks perspective and it is reinterpreted in the light of the Viable System Approach (VSA). The proposed literature review about the topic of knowledge management facilitates the reading and the understanding of dominant managerial models outlining traits and characteristics of the knowledge society - as construct based on the relationship among viable systems - that traditional approaches are no able to explain.
