Bilgi çağı olarak adlandırılan ve yeni ekonomik düzenin ana bileşeni olan bilgi konusu son dönemde sosyal bilimlerin en çok araştırılan konuları arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çağın doğal bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan, bilgiyi hem bir girdi hem de bir çıktı olarak kullanan ve “Bilgi Yoğun Örgütler” olarak adlandırılan örgüt tipleri, bir önceki üretim ekonomisinden farklı bir yapı ortaya koymaktadır. Örgüt kuramlarında altı çizilen ve örgütsel hayatta kalmanın ana unsuru olan belirsizlikle baş edebilme bilgi yoğun örgütlerin hayatta kalması içinde değişmez bir kıstastır. Hayatta kalmanın yanında, Hickson ve diğerleri (1971) tarafından “Stratejik koşul bağımlılığı kuramı” olarak adlandırılan yaklaşımda, belirsizlik mücadele de etkin oynayan rol örgütsel oluşumlar, örgüt içindeki gücü kullananlar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bilgi yoğun örgütler öznesinde belirsizlik ile mücadele eden, bunu yaparken ikamesi zor işlevleri yerine getiren birim/grup/bireyler örgüt içindeki gücün kullanıcıları olarak değerlendirilebilir. Ayrıca, heterojen bir yapıdan oluşan söz konusu oluşum her ne kadar farklı görüşlere sahip olsa da bir arada yaşabilmekte ve örgüt hakim koalisyon rolünü üstlenmektedirler.
The information subject, called the information age and the main component of the new economic system, is among the topics of social sciences that have been highly studied in recent periods. The types of organizations that appear as a natural result of this age, using information as both an input and an output, and called "Information Intensive Organizations" present a structure different from the previous production economy. The ability to cope with uncertainty, which is the main element of organizational survival, drawn up in the six organizational theories, is an unchanged stage in the survival of intense organizations. In addition to survival, Hickson and others (1971) called the “Strategic Condition Addiction Theory” approach, organizational formations, which also play an effective role in fighting uncertainty, appear to us as those who use power within the organization. In the essence of information-intense organizations, units/groups/individus who fight uncertainty, performing difficult functions while doing so can be considered as users of the power within the organization. Furthermore, the formation of a heterogeneous structure, although it has different views, can live together and take over the role of the organization dominant coalition.
Knowledge is one of the main components of new economic structure that is called as knowledge era and it is one of the hot topics of social sciences. Knowledge intensive organizations, which have showed up naturally as a result of this era and which have been using knowledge both as an input and as an output, have revealed a different organizational structure than the past eras. Overcoming the uncertainties is the essence of organizational survival and it is one of the main issues emphasized in the organizational researches.This is also valid for the knowledge intensive organizations. According to ‘Strategic Contingency’ approach which is uttered by Hickson et al. (1971), the organizational units which play a critical role in overcoming uncertainties can use organizational power. Within the scope of knowledge intensive organizations, the individuals/groups/units that play critical and irreplaceable roles while overcoming uncertainties can be seen as power users. Moreover, these components of an organization which have heterogenic structure can live symbiotically and one of them can play the role of the dominant one in this coalition. In this paper, some theoretical propositions are tried to be inferred within the concepts mentioned above. The aim of the paper is to reveal theoretical assumptions concerning knowledge intensive organizations and to play a leading role for the studies on these issues.
