> Abstract
>
> "Businesses such as law firms have recently made large investments in
> information and communication technology. Eurojuris is a network of law
> offices in Europe, covering 650 different cities/locations in 19 countries
> with a total of 3000 lawyers. In Eurojuris Norway, there are 11 law firms
> with 90 lawyers. The Eurojuris law firms have invested in information and
> communication technology facilitating inter-organisational knowledge
> management. This research investigated benefits perceived from use of the
> network among Eurojuris law firms in Norway. Benefit concepts were derived
> from value activities, knowledge categories and knowledge levels. A survey
> was conducted, and survey results indicate that benefits are perceived by
> lawyers in problem-solving, choice, control and evaluation when they get
> access to knowledge at an advanced level. There were significant
differences
> in benefits perceived. For example, benefits perceived from access to
> declarative knowledge were significantly greater than benefits perceived
> from access to administrative, procedural and analytical knowledge."
>
> Even though the results are somewhat marred by the lack of size of the
> sample for statistical purposes, there is some interesting thinking going
on
> here. Assuming the small sample size can be inductively generalized to a
> wider sphere with any legitimacy, then the following is intriguing:
>
> "The third proposition argued that benefits from information and
> communication technology facilitating inter-organizational knowledge
> networks will be greater at higher levels of knowledge. From Table 5 we
see
> that there are significantly more benefits associated with advanced
> knowledge than with core knowledge, thereby providing support for more
> benefits at higher knowledge levels when moving from core to advanced
> knowledge. However, when moving from advanced knowledge to innovative
> knowledge there are no more benefits. Hence, the third proposition is only
> partly supported in the collected data. In fact, the collected data
indicate
> that advanced knowledge is the best knowledge level for IT support as
> advanced knowledge is significantly higher than both core and innovative
> knowledge in Table 5."
