Narrative, Blogs, and Social Knowledge Management

Shared Perspective of SKM and SPN: Supporting social knowledge management requires that we access reason, intellect, values, intuition, and love, which in turn requires moving away from strictly quantitative research to make room at the methodological table for qualitative, participatory research (Laszlo and Laszlo, 2002, p. 405). This perspective supports my approach to the study of blogs as organic social knowledge management as a researcher who actively participates in the South Dakota blogosphere and writes about that experience in scholarly personal narrative.
