The Society of the Knowledge & Sociotechnical Systems: The Society of the Knowledge & Sociotechnical Systems: challenges and reflectionschallenges and reflections

The paper presents and discuss some challenges and reflections about Governance, Knowledge Society and Sociotechnical Systems. Points like the synergism and collaborative ecosystem research efforts, organizations knowledgeable and organization as a living being, the involvement of people and others IT resources are discussed considering actual questions, challenges and future perspectives. Governance is pointed to offer normative goals of sustainability upon existing sociotechnical systems.

Knowledge societies is one in which knowledge becomes a major creative force, a major component of any human activity.


12


What is new in Knowledge societies ?• With current technologies, knowledge societies need not be constrained by geographic proximity;• Current technology offers much more possibilities for sharing, archiving and retrieving knowledge;• Knowledge has become the most important capital in the present age

• The word governance - “the process of keeping under control” - is originated from the Greek verb “kubernân” and was used for the first time in a metaphorical sense by Plato to describe the act of governing men.• Governance involves monitoring and overseeing strategic direction, socio-economic and cultural context, externalities, and constituencies of the institution.

• If we go back a little in history we shall remember that competitive advantage was marked by the ownership of capital and assets such as natural resources, estates, etc., but today we are experiencing a fourth great revolution, that of knowledge..



20

•The first revolution: the industrial age. From 1750 until the mid 1960s. Marked by the evolution of the process. •A second moment took place in the 70s, marked by the expansion of the Japanese industry. The world was overtaken by a revolution in processes.



21

• In the 80s and 90s we have the third moment, marked by a technological revolution in the West and lead by the Americans.



• Fourth revolution, the “Age of Knowledge”: Organizations are focusing "people" as a great competitive differential.

22

• What about the social-technical question involving IT and

people in this Age?



It is the treatment of the organization as a living being, through a systemic view, that will enable the emergence of phenomena which shall enable the whole to be more than the sum of the parts of such being/organism!.

23

• How to theorize such context?



“a deep understanding that there is always a simple explanation to any seemingly intractable problem.” (TOC - concept of Inherent Simplicity)

24

• From the last questions, it follows several others questions related with the Age of Knowledge:

1. How to deal with the social-technical questions in such Age? 2. Is the present economic crisis the “last straw” in order for us to finally, develops such sense of unity and perception of the whole? 3. Does the solution for this knowledge information society go, necessarily, through the social-technical IT questions? 4. And The Future ? How to elaborate/build a new way of development, which comprises the social, economical, cultural and environmental spheres, and that leads us to a new model of perception and knowledge of the world – a perfect social-technical system? 5. IF such new system had already been developed, AND ACCEPTED, would the present financial crisis have occurred? 6. ...



25

For countries in development, such as Brazil, to transform their condition, it is necessary, NOW, to advance their R&D and local Collaborative Ecosystem research efforts (RDCE)...



•And in the future ?

RDCE must consider the principle of the Systemic View and, it may be accomplished by the integration among one of these interdependent subjects: ecology, biology, communication, organizations, economy, education, communities, technology, culture and the human being (social-technical systems).

26

The Governance imposing normative goals of sustainability upon existing sociotechnical systems, implies connecting and synchronizing changes among these actors, institutions and artifacts at many different points in the system.



27



• IF such new system (*) had already been developed, AND

ACCEPTED, would the present financial crisis have occurred?

* that which comprises the social, economical, cultural and environmental spheres, and that leads us to a new model of perception and knowledge of the world

28



• Today’s crisis is the result of a catastrophic failure, primarily in the financial system but also of our economic and political systems. •Even though the Sarbanes-OxleyAct of 2002 had been an important initiative of U.S. Government to regulate companies after the drop of financial institutions, it has not proved to be effective enough to avoid a financial crash in the world economy in 2008...

29



The challenge now is the systemic thinking (that which focuses on the performance of a system as a whole) - to design a society (regulator) - that goes beyond companies’ compliances - and actually measures and focuses on systemic risks, rather than on the individual parts of the system.And, at this point that governance could exercise its essential mean and to extend its role to the hole society. Contributing to define a new systematic way of manage business, society and why not the individuals?

30



By last but not least, “Challenges and Reflections”, tried to awake our feelings towards this new era of knowledge.

Perspectives

But, yet, news questions remain to be answered: Who or what will be driving innovations in this new era? Which is the impact of the sociotechnical system in such innovations process? About SOX, it seems that it has not been enough to avoid a financial crash in the world economy in 2008- Why?.
