✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This article aims to illustrate how the Co‐Evolute methodology can be applied to capture the proactive vision of the personnel of a technology company in terms of personal development and organizational development, from the viewpoint of learning and knowledge creation. The Co‐Evolute methodology was developed at Tampere University of Technology in Pori, Finland. The methodology uses ontology engineering to support the use of several specific fuzzy applications on the Internet. Four different applications are tested here: one to evaluate a person's physical competencies; one to evaluate the project manager's generic and specific competencies; one to evaluate the organizational environment from the viewpoint of new knowledge creation; and one to evaluate the organizational environment from the viewpoint of learning. The results of an empirical study carried out in the subsidiary of a multinational technology company in Finland are also presented in this article. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
