In my dissertation I analyzed in detail the cognitive and management challenge connected to new technologies, I presented my own research results from the Hungarian mobile telecommunications sector and I described potential solutions using the toolkits of knowledge management. I also show how the experience of online, open, knowledge sharing communities can help corporate knowledge management.
I also consider a great honor that I was invited to contribute to the mobile studies workgroup led by Kristóf Nyíri (sponsored by T-Mobile and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences).
