Towards a Rhizomatic Method for Knowledge Management
Abstract
The paper highlights the importance of ontological assumptions to the management of knowledge and the development of knowledge management systems. It juxtaposes the ontology of "being" based on the work of Heidegger, and the ontology of "becoming" based on Deleuze and Guattari's discussion of rhizomatic activity. The relevance of these ideas to knowledge management, information systems, and organisational activities in general is illustrated and a tentative framework based on rhizomatics is developed and discussed.
