Organisations and Communities of practice
What is an Organisation? An organisation is a collection of people with a common aim
An example of organisations includes middlesex university.
Communities of practice on the other hand as defined by Etienne Wenger "are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly" (www.ewenger.com/theory)
An example of Communities of practice is the IMPERIAL group in BIS4410
All communities of practice must have 3 characteristics which include
Domain, practice and community
Differences between an Organisation and Communities of practice
1 An organisation is like a platform for communities of practice.
2 An organisation's scope is very wide but a community of practice's scope is small
3 Organisations have strategies and visions but communities of practice do not necessarily need to have strategies and vision
4 People in an organisation do not necessarily have the same domain of interest but people in communities of practice MUST share the same domain of interest
5 Communities of practice must have 3 distinct characteristics which are Domain, practice and community while the characteristics for organisations varies

About me
Hi,
My name is Rosa and I've got a degree in IT with BIS. I currently work part-time at wembley arena. I'm a little bit quiet at first but open up as I get to know someone. My strength is in programming and I'm also a fast learner and I'm also a good team player. My weakness is time management and doing research but I'm willing to learn.I'm really looking forward to this module as its an interesting aspect of our daily lives. Report or article writing is actually my major weakness so pardon my brief article
