A common term to different business topics (knowledge management, organizational development, learning organization strategies) are linked, and even often based, on the principle of the modern philosophy of ' phenomenology ' [where each individual understands and reads the reality thanks his own schemes of time and space].

I copy you here an interesting link to a specialized portal. Check the site of Gene Belliger by clicking the picture.
