Teleology in Knowledge Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Teleology comes from the Greek term telos, in English purpose. According to Aristotle, each object has a final purpose for its being. Human knowledge is also associated with such a purpose. The teleological analysis of knowledge management processes and knowledge types is a new approach to mapping organizational knowledge, especially in academic environment. In this paper, we show advantages of this procedure in application of teleology on the corporate knowledge market. Effectiveness of business processes depends on a level of knowledge management maturity in an organization. Knowledge holders and other employees are the company’s key assets to approach this maturity. Teleological perspective of knowledge mapping can be used effectively through social network activities such as collaborative filtering of content.

An alternative proposal (‘Promiscuous Teleology’) argues that teleolog...
