BIRTH AND SURVIVAL OF A MICROCOMMUNITY OF KNOWLEDGE - A STUDY ON THE KNOWLEDGE CREATION PROCESS IN THE CONTEXT OF AN ART PROJECT IN A BUSINESS SCHOOL

The paper describes and analyses a temporary microcommunity of knowledge from a knowledge creation perspective. The focus is on the entry of a newcomer from different world to the community. How does the interface between people from different backgrounds and worlds affect the working of a microcommunity of knowledge. The research method is action research. In the case of the Helsinki Business Campus art project, the entry of the artist seemed to create new understanding and knowledge on art and on the project itself. Also, the entry seemed to enhance rather than hamper the trust building and a sense of community within the Helsinki Business Campus art project’s group. The results give interesting views to the project management discussions as well as some insights to the knowledge creation process.
