• Martin Rouleaux-Dugage, Organisation 2.0: le knowledge management nouvelle generation (Organization 2.0: the new generation in Knowledge Management). The thrust of the book is that organizations today have to function as collaborative networks. Trust then becomes an essential enabler in a company's culture. From this perspective, a key value of communities of practice is that they act as what the author calls "social structures of trust." They are part of a cultural transformation that makes it possible for an organization to move into the 21st century.
