Assignment Objective<\/h2>\n

Produce a formal individual report that analyses how knowledge management (KM) initiatives, particularly those embedded in social media and social network technologies, can drive business innovation within an organisation of your choice.<\/p>\n

Task Description<\/h2>\n

Identify and analyse one real organisation (private sector, public sector, or not-for-profit). Examine how the organisation can (or already does) use social media\/social networks as a vehicle for knowledge creation, sharing, and exploitation to generate innovation.<\/p>\n

Your report must explicitly address four integrated elements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Organisational learning approach adopted or recommended<\/li>\n
  2. Social media \/ social network development and adoption<\/li>\n
  3. Knowledge management features and processes enabled by social technologies<\/li>\n
  4. Opportunities created for subsequent business innovation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Draw on relevant theory (organisational learning, KM models, innovation frameworks, social capital, absorptive capacity, etc.) and support your analysis with evidence from the chosen organisation and from wider research.<\/p>\n

    Assessment Criteria & Learning Outcomes<\/h2>\n

    The assignment assesses the following learning outcomes:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Critically discuss the nature and process of knowledge creation and transfer within organisations<\/li>\n
    2. Critically evaluate how organisational and social dynamics combine to engender innovation<\/li>\n
    3. Analyse the application of concepts and theories related to new \u2018social network\u2019 technologies<\/li>\n
    4. Present theoretical and empirical evidence to address complex problems and practical situations in relation to knowledge management and innovation development<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
