Some questions:
1) How you would choose the members from management? Some from each hierachial level and how many in total?
2) Will you present the result to Managment and/or staff?

Dear Phoebe,

What kind of organization culture are we talking about here, e.g. do you mean the culture of team spirit, culture of "can-do" etc on Knowledge Management. It will be easier to understand if we know what kind of Organization culture we are studying before we conduct the research.

Thank you for all your comments.

The type of org. will be some knowledge-based org. like consultant org.

As I mentioned in slides, senior staff (1-2), PM, members(1-3) and 20 users will be selected. I suppose it will not exceed 30. Hopefully, it's around 25.

I think I will let the management know the result of the study. However, it may not be disclosed to all staff due to confidentiality.

Hi Clara,

Thank you for your comments. You are right. Maybe I need to explain a little bit on the org. culture concerned in this study. It is about attitude to sharing knowledge with others, using other's ideas, working collaboratively and etc. You know, org. culture is about the common understanding and approved behaviour in the org. I will focus on those which may affect the KM implementation in the org. The details will be identified in the plan.
