Abstract:The current organizational knowledge creation models are largely limited by the insufficiency for practically guiding the real-world knowledge creation processes. To overcome this, the authors suggest investigating workable knowledge creation patterns in groups, organizations, and inter-organizational communities, inspired by the ideas of problem-solving methods in knowledge engineering and design patterns in software engineering. The ideas of patterns are further connected to the concept of schemas in cognitive psychology, indicating that the patterns actually reflect a fundamental means for human intelligence to handle the complexities of real-world problem- solving. To promote further research on knowledge creation patterns, some basic considerations are given in the present paper. First, the collaborative knowledge creation patterns are classified into two categories, i.e. the pattern of problem solutions and the patterns about how the collaborative groups being organized. Second, a rough dynamic model of pattern development is given.
