Thus, the concept was not developed by Wenger alone. For a review about the development of this concept, read for example: Amin, A. and J.

Favela Fabric has done a great job on past communities, trying to harness the innovative potential. However, it is a very delicate process to structure and facilitate online dialogue. I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg with my research, but the results were extremely interesting. There is much more research to be done. I am open to exchange thoughts on your thesis topic. Send me what you have and I will take a look into it. Best regards, Bob Stukart Dear Stefanos,

That's an interesting research direction you have here. Increasing participation in the CoP's we manage is of course something we try to accomplish everytime. That said, there is not a single strategy that will always work (we haven't found it), every company and their employees are so different and diverse, we have to dig into these companies everytime to be able to get things going. Feel free to keep posting your progress or questions! Thanks for your interest Stefanos. That’s an interesting research direction you have here.

Since my specialisation is Marketing, this will be my perspective on the usage of the CoP in practice. I want to investigate this by using an network that exists within a company and study the most active members and devise possible strategies that will increase participation. I read several articles concerning these CoP's but they were rather conceptual instead of putting forward ideas and propositions that could be tested so therefore I want to venture out in that field.

However I am still pondering about the research direction I must take. I also read the blog of Bob Stukart and I believe that there is a direction to take that is exciting research-wise! I would love to exchange thoughts or contact you. With kind regards, S. Karakasis Rotterdam School of Management Dear Bas,

I know that ABN AMRO is working with Favela Fabric in creating a Social Networking Platform. I am currently working on my thesis topic which is really similar to yours but I am lacking in direction but your post gave me so much inspiration. I would really like to exchange thoughts on my thesis topic and maybe pick your brain for future research directions! With kind regards - Stefanos Karakasis Dear Bob,
