Abstract

Knowledge is an indispensable element that ensures healthy functioning of any socio-technical system. Despite a terminological ambiguity, it is discussed by many researchers. Learning is a process to seek and recreate knowledge within socio-technical systems. In this paper we attempt to explicate the terminological ambiguities of knowledge and explore knowledge processing and creation cycles as relevant for socio-technical systems. Further we present insights about theories of learning discussed by different scholars. We extend the paper towards new models of knowledge exchange inspired by and flow inspired by digital ecosystem concepts.
