Abstract
Investigating the case of Eisai Co., Ltd., I consider the effects of declaring departmental knowledge vision on corporate intranet in this study. Eisai is developing “the knowledge map” mainly to share the corporate mission with employees. All departments and sub-organizations in Eisai have their knowledge vision after talk, and uploaded it on the intranet. Analyzing survey data and interview data, I got some findings. (1) The knowledge visions at department level and sub-organization level can bridge over the gaps between abstract corporate vision and concrete frontline activities. (2) Through the knowledge vision making process, the dialoging capability of sub-organizations can be improved. (3) To promote collaboration over departments, we need the person who can gain insight into the relations between sub-organizations from their knowledge visions. Just uploading knowledge visions on intranet is not enough.
