Abstract
This chapter aims at a better understanding of the dynamics leading firms to create Networks of practice (NoP) to transfer knowledge and know-how between its geographically dispersed business units. In this introduction we focus on the complementarity between communities of practice (CoP) and networks of practice (NoP) inside firms to share knowledge and consolidate organizational learning. We show that informal settings where people interact around their practices, such as CoP facilitate and consolidate knowledge sharing inside firms and enable them to create a larger network. After a literature review on CoP and NoP, the chapter will highlight the role of CoP and boundaries processes (brokers, boundary objects) in the development of NoP.
Keywords:
- Networks of practice,
- communities of practice,
- knowledge sharing,
- brokers,
- boundary objects
Résumé
Ce chapitre a pour objectif une meilleure comprehension des dynamiques conduisant les entreprises à créer des réseaux de pratique pour transférer des connaissances et du savoir-faire entre leurs unités dispersées géographiquement. Dans cette introduction, nous insistons sur la complémentarité entre les communautés de pratique et les réseaux de pratique à l’intérieur des entreprises pour partager les connaissances et consolider l’apprentissage organisationnel. Nous montrons que les lieux informels où les gens interagissent autour de leur pratiques, telles que les communautés de pratique, facilitent et consolident le partage de connaissances dans les entreprises et leur permettent de créer des réseaux plus larges. Après une revue de la literature sur les communautés de pratique et les réseaux de pratique, le chapitre éclairera le rôle des communautés et des processus de frontières (intermédiaires, objets-frontière) dans le développement des réseaux de pratique.

Resumen
Este capítulo tiene como objetivo una mejor comprensión de las dinámicas de las empresas para crear redes de práctica para transferir conocimiento y know-how entre sus unidades de negocio geográficamente dispersas. En esta introducción nos centramos en la complementariedad entre las comunidades de práctica y las redes de práctica dentro de las empresas para compartir conocimiento y consolidar el aprendizaje organizacional. Mostramos que los entornos informales en los que las personas interactúan en torno a sus prácticas, como en las comunidades de práctica, facilitan y consolidan el intercambio de conocimientos dentro de las empresas y les permiten crear una red más amplia. Después de una revisión de la literatura sobre comunidades de práctica y redes de práctica, el capítulo destacará el rol de las comunidades y los procesos frontera (intermediarios, objetos frontera) en el desarrollo de las redes de práctica.
Palabras clave:
