Personal data space in organisations: managing personal knowledge and identity.

Wigan, Marcus

Abstract

Identity and information ownership are increasingly confused. One of the key aspects of this area of dispute is the personal data space within which people perceive that they operate. This concept allows many of the attitudes and behaviours in organisations to be viewed from a productive angle, where networking, data management, data ownership and identity are reconstructed by individuals. The vulnerabilities of the tradeoffs between web-linked identity and more restricted forms of external memory are explored. The implications for leadership and distributed management are considered.
