"Dieser Artikel berichtet über den Verlauf und die Resultate einer zweijährigen Langzeitstudie, welche den Einfluss eines Wissensmanagement-Projekts auf organisationale Kommunikations- und Entscheidungsstrukturen evaluiert hat. Das Wissensmanagement-Projekt hat bereichsübergreifende Communities of Practice in einer großen Automobilfirma eingeführt. Die Autorin verwendete einen Forschungsansatz, der 'balancierte Evaluation' genannt wurde und es ermöglichte, Änderungen der organisationalen Kommunikations- und Entscheidungsstrukturen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven mit mehreren Forschungsmethoden zu erforschen. Dieser systemtheoretische Ansatz für die Erfolgsmessung eines Transformationsprozesses wird beschrieben und mit traditionellen Ansätzen verglichen." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"This article reports on the course and the findings of a two year longitudinal study aimed at investigating the impact of a knowledge management project on an organization's communication and decision structures. The knowledge management project introduced cross-functional Communities of Practice into a division of a large automotive company. The author-researcher applied a multi-perspective and multi-method research approach called 'balanced evaluation' for being able to unravel changes in organizational knowledge and decision patterns. This system-theoretic approach to evaluation of transformation processes is described and compared to more traditional approaches; findings are presented and discussed."
