Proposing Knowledge Governance Framework in social Networks

This article addresses the governance mechanisms required among different knowledge groups, which are so hard to be formed, to design a knowledge governance framework in social networks. There are many problems among different knowledge groups when trying to make knowledge endeavours and obtaining a knowledge-based product/service. Reviewing the literature show strong recommendations to study the mentioned phenomena, not only using less library studies, but also using pragmatism approach and the action-based research methodologies. By understanding the situation, the researchers has used design science research (DSR) methodology to find the needs, proposing a design and make an artifact due to the problem, all based on the DSR guidelines and principles. By study different Entrepreneurial firms (start-ups) in a boot camp, all have the problems of knowledge gathering, communications between different knowledge sections and etc., the design process has been implemented and evaluated.  The verification and validation results showed significant improvement in knowledge groups’ relations while many of them had more agility and also better results.
