Identification of a Knowledge Management Framework with Idea Flow in Community of Practice

Idea flow can significantly impact on knowledge management and enable knowledge innovation in a community of practice. In order to build an innovative and smart community of practice, Idea flow is the key. In addition, Knowledge management, especially knowledge sharing, depends on values of members of community respected the diverse values of members are important so that knowledge innovation should have integrated perspectives. Mata-synthetic method could be a human-oriented methodology and philosophy with knowledge, advancement and flexibility. The idea of integration is that the core of a system or a system combines several parts, elements, and units. Therefore, based on Meta-synthetic method, the 10 types of knowledge related to the resource-oriented perspectives are identified. Moreover, the knowledge management is a dynamic process which enables knowledge transferred mutually in an organisational system. Therefore, the knowledge management framework can be established. Idea can boost the knowledge flowing among the members of community and then result in the knowledge innovation and better decision making. This is because the basis of idea flow is social learning. Similarly, the social learning can also enable knowledge shared in community of practice. Therefore, there are three types of benefits in community of practice derived from idea flow. This paper aims to discuss the knowledge taxonomies and knowledge management framework as the foundations for the impact of idea flow on knowledge management through social physics.
