This unit aims at building the groundwork for knowledge management in organizations, going beyond the information systems. A critical approach will be adopted to build the notions of knowledge, economy, knowledge management, knowledge society and the economy of innovation and organizational change. This will help the construction of the various elements integrating the knowledge management function within organizations.
