Comunidades virtuais de prática no serviço público : quadro teórico para a organização de experiências e apoio à inovaçãoPrevedello, Clarissa Felkl January 2015 (has links)
O serviço público passa por um período de reinvenção e mudança em busca dos valores da Nova Gestão pública baseados na aproximação com as demandas da sociedade e incentivo a um ambiente aberto, transparente e inovador. Em consonância, o servidor público se posiciona cada vez mais de maneira ativa e consciente do seu papel, disposto a participar de um desafio aberto, diferente do imposto por um ambiente burocratizado e desumanizado. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa apoiou-se em um estudo de caso que se utilizou de uma observação participante permeada por um estudo teórico dos saberes necessários para entendela e pesquisá-la, envolvendo os conceitos de: inovação no setor público, intelectual orgânico e comunidades virtuais de prática. Para isso, foram acompanhadas e analisadas durante dois anos as interações da comunidade virtual de prática do Núcleo de Gestão Ambiental Integrada da reitoria do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Sul-rio-grandense que se utilizou do e-mail e do ambiente virtual de aprendizagem Moodle para desenvolver práticas no setor público Nesse contexto, a pesquisa sobre a realidade prática durante o período foi permeada pelo estudo teórico que identificou a postura do servidor público como intelectual orgânico, agente da mudança, aberto para a aprendizagem e inovador que se utiliza das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação atuando em comunidade virtuais de prática. Ao final, a pesquisa delimitou um quadro teórico para identificar, caracterizar e posteriormente auxiliar na organização, condução e análise de experiências com comunidades virtuais de prática como ambiente de inovação no serviço público visando o desenvolvimento da postura de intelectual orgânico. / The public service is undergoing a period of invention and changes in search of the New Public Management values-based approach to the demands of society, and encourage an open, transparent and innovative environment. Accordingly, the civil servant positions itself increasingly active and conscious of its role, willing to participate in an open challenge, other than imposed by a bureaucratic and dehumanized environment. In this context, this research was based on a case study that was used a participating observation permeated by a theoretical study of knowledge required to understand it and research it, involving the concepts of innovation in the public sector, organic intellectual and virtual communities of practice. For this, they were monitored and analyzed for two years the interactions of virtual community of practice of the Núcleo de Gestão Integrada of the rectory of the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Sul-rio-grandense which used e-mail and virtual learning environment Moodle for to develop practices in the public sector In this context, the research on the practical reality during the period was permeated by theoretical study that identified the attitude of civil servants as organic intellectual, change agent, open to learning and innovator who uses of Information and Communication Technologies when working in virtual communities of practice. At the end, the survey identified a theoretical framework for identifying, characterizing and subsequently assist in the organization, conduct and analysis of experiences with virtual communities of practice and innovation environment in the public service for the development of the organic intellectual’s posture.

Previous issue date: 2007 / O objetivo geral desta dissertação é analisar como se dão os processos de
aprendizagem/compartilhamento de conhecimento em comunidades virtuais de prática,
identificando como os conhecimentos individuais se transformam em conhecimentos
coletivos. Comunidades de prática existem desde a Antigüidade, entretanto, somente há pouco
tempo vêm sendo pesquisadas pela academia e estimuladas pelas organizações líderes. Tais
comunidades são vistas como locus privilegiado de aprendizagem e, conseqüentemente, como
fontes de vantagem competitiva para as organizações. Mais recentemente, com o advento da
Internet, surgiram as comunidades virtuais de prática, que são redes eletrônicas que reúnem,
por adesão voluntária, indivíduos comprometidos e engajados numa prática comum e que
trocam experiências e conhecimentos a respeito de um tema. Estas distinguem-se das
comunidades de prática tradicionais pela ausência da comunicação face-a-face nas interações,
as quais são mediadas pelo computador. Apesar de já haver um volume razoável de estudos
sobre as comunidades de prática, mormente no exterior, o mesmo não ocorre com as
comunidades virtuais de prática. Os dados da pesquisa realizada na comunidade virtual de
desenvolvimento de Software Livre DEBIAN-BR-CDD – uma comunidade virtual de prática
– obtidos e analisados com base em técnicas qualitativas e quantitativas, corroboraram, em
geral, resultados de pesquisas anteriores sobre aprendizagem de indivíduos em situações de
trabalho e sobre processos associados de transformação desses conhecimentos adquiridos em
conhecimento organizacional ou coletivo, indicando que, mesmo no ambiente virtual, a
aprendizagem no plano individual ocorreu, por meio de estratégias acionadas pelos
indivíduos, entre as quais, destacaram-se a busca em conhecimentos produzidos pela
comunidade, o aprender fazendo e as consultas à comunidade. Esses conhecimentos
adquiridos pelos indivíduos foram transformados em conhecimentos da comunidade
DEBIAN-BR-CDD através de processos de codificação e socialização. Entre os processos de
socialização foram enfatizados interações através de ferramentas assíncronas, especialmente
lista de discussão, interações através de ferramentas síncronas e utilização da ferramenta de
controle de versão, enquanto que os processos de codificação mais utilizados foram o registro
de problemas em banco de dados de falhas, a utilização de ferramenta de controle de versão, a
elaboração de manuais técnicos e de bancos de dados de Frequently Asked Questions. Foram
ainda encontradas evidências de que, enquanto a tecnologia é indubitavelmente importante
para suportar as interações no contexto das comunidades virtuais de prática, aspectos
individuais como motivação e o nível de conhecimentos dos participantes, aliados a fatores
como a confiança e a identificação destes com a comunidade são vitais para que os indivíduos
compartilhem seus conhecimentos na rede, abrindo possibilidades de que a aprendizagem da
comunidade venha a ocorrer. / Salvador

Community, Crowdsourcing, and Commerce: WhatsApp Groups for Agriculture in KenyaDavid, Cailean 02 December 2020 (has links)
WhatsApp’s growing presence in the developing world has led to a grassroots movement of messaging groups designed to serve relevant needs for small scale farmers in Kenya. These groups provide the means for as many as 256 members to ask questions, share experiences and solutions, gain access to information, and access markets for their products. This research project examines the use of these WhatsApp groups for agriculture in Kenya. The project seeks to understand the existing barriers to participation, and the use, benefits, and shortcomings of these groups for their members. Research findings indicated that farmers’ overall access to smart phones is a substantial barrier to their participation in groups for agriculture, and these barriers are expectedly more difficult for the poorest and most vulnerable (in which intersectional poverty creates additional barriers). However, while each group can vary significantly, members report that WhatsApp groups as a whole overwhelmingly benefit their livelihoods and practice. Systemic and societal change occurs when the experiences and successes of one individual are shared with a larger group – leading to rapid and shared prosperity. As each individual learns a new skill, technique, or input, the group must also learn and benefit from that knowledge. WhatsApp provides the means and the platform for this type of information exchange to occur at scale, and with individuals who would otherwise be unlikely to communicate. This research project examines the emerging use of grassroots WhatsApp groups as a potential example of this positive and inclusive approach to extension and development in agricultural communities.

Virtual Communities of Enterprise Value Creation Potential for Regional ClustersMason, Cecily Jane, cecilym@deakin.edu.au January 2008 (has links)
Governments around the world have pursued ICT based initiatives including the provision of infrastructure to assist regional areas to develop economically (Beckinsale et al. 2006). There has been considerable interest in exploiting ICT to develop high technology clusters and support innovative networks (Lawson & Lorenz 1999). However, these initiatives have met with mixed success. It is clear that such development depends on more than providing appropriate technology Attention to social and organisational factors is crucial if regional areas are to realise the potential of ICT as a tool for regional development (Gengatharen & Standing 2005). It is important to understand the nature of business networking as well as the perspective of those participating in such networks if successful initiatives are to be established. The aim of this research is to identify how ICT can be used for knowledge sharing among businesses in regional areas and how the online networks through which knowledge is shared can contribute to the development of the region.
This research investigates the question of what value small businesses in those regions derive from knowledge sharing networks using ICT. It also seeks to identify the value creation potential of those networks for their region. Previous research has shown that large organisations have achieved significant value from virtual communities of practice (VCoPs) as a structure for sharing knowledge and supporting innovation (Wenger 2004). The concept of Communities of Practice and Virtual Communities of Practice provided a useful point of departure for this research.
The investigation comprised interpretive case studies of two Australian regional areas and their local business networks which incorporated SMEs in a variety of industries. Each case study was conducted in three stages. First, semi-structured interviews were conducted with regional economic development leaders. Second, 192 small and medium business owners were surveyed about their business activities and their participation in local business networks. Third, in-depth interviews were conducted with 23 small business owners to gain a richer understanding of their participation in knowledge-sharing networks and the value they realised or anticipated from various knowledge-sharing activities. A combined analysis of the two cases was conducted as well as the individual analyses. The research adopted a modified Structured Case method (Carroll & Swatman 2000).
The analysis of the two case studies revealed:
a.) There was a significant difference between the majority of SMEs who traded within the region and those trading largely beyond the region. The latters more proactive online sharing knowledge and seeking of business opportunities would enable them to access most value from VCoEs.
b.) The participating SMEs operated in a number of industries and what they had in common was an interest in improving their enterprises. Consequently they used their regional networks which were not aligned to any one industry to make connections and share knowledge. They did not necessarily seek to access specific information.
c.) A necessary prerequisite of VCoEs is having vibrant CoEs where face-to-face interaction enhances the development of trust and social capital. This appeared as an important factor facilitating the move to incorporate online knowledge sharing.
d.) Younger businesses appeared to gain the most value from knowledge sharing in CoEs as they were using their networks to determine how to grow their firm.
e.) The value of VCoEs to the SME participants is primarily in their general connection to other businesses in the region. Since the participants operate in a number of industries, what they have in common is an interest in their enterprises. The main value appears to come from the potential of the VCoEs to add to this connection and to social capital.
This study found that successful management of VCoEs must:
i) Ensure the network website is actively used by members before attempting to incorporate online knowledge sharing.
ii) Monitor and stimulate online forum interaction rather than rely on interaction to occur naturally.
iii) Not rely on email as a mechanism for stimulating knowledge sharing. Email is seen as more appropriate for formal documentation than for candid exchange of views.
The concept of virtual communities of practice was found to be somewhat inappropriate for the diverse SMEs in the regional networks. Because of their diversity, they do not necessarily see value in sharing knowledge about practice but they do see value in sharing more general information and in providing support, connection and ideas that facilitate the strategic direction of their business. To address this issue, the concept of virtual communities of enterprise (VCoEs) is proposed as recognition of what the participating SMEs had in common: an interest in their individual businesses as part of the region.
The original contribution of this research consists of its identification of the issues in linking SMEs across industries. It provides new insights on the business practices of regional SMEs and developed the concepts of Community of Enterprise (CoE) and Virtual Community of Enterprise (VCoE) to capture the special nature of knowledge sharing in regional multi-industry business networks. New perspectives are revealed on the ways that value could be derived from knowledge sharing by these regionally networked SMEs, as such it adds to the body of knowledge in an area where there has been little systematic investigation. This research reinforces the importance of social capital as an essential pre-requisite for accessing the value of intellectual capital in regions. Social capital emerges as vital when establishing and maintaining face-to-face knowledge sharing in regional networks and a necessary pre-condition for successfully establishing online knowledge sharing. Trust is a key factor and this research extends understanding of the role of social capital and the importance of trust in regional networks and online interaction. Its findings have significant implications for the development and management of CoEs and VCoEs as it outlines the key elements that need to be addressed when establishing and maintaining them, the appropriate applications for this context and the issues involved in management of the networking and online contexts. These findings not only increase our understanding of the management dynamics of online networks, they can also provide guidance to those seeking to establish successful VCoEs.
