[Session B8. 지식경영] 인터넷 환경하의 지식 경영을 위한 Fractal Company

In the rapidly changing management circumstances, knowledge management has been proposed as a methodology to enforce competitiveness of a company. However, current functional and organizational structure of a company is not suitable for knowledge management. Therefore, the structure of a company needs to be changed to more adaptable and flexible one. This paper presents an appropriate structure for knowledge management by adapting the concept of fractal company. It has many advantageous characteristics such as self-similarity, self-organization, etc. Based on the organization innovation theory, this paper also presents the definition and char acteristics of BFU(Basic Fract al Unit) which is the basic functional component of fractal company. The functional model for BFU is also described by using IDEF0 modeling techniques.
