Abstract

This research aims to explore the recognized advantages of Communities of Practice (CoPs) in enhancing knowledge sharing and spurring organizational transformation. Despite their acknowledged importance, CoPs often receive inadequate attention or representation in numerous organizations, likely due to leaders' unfamiliarity or insufficient skills to manage such groups. This study introduces the "Real Option Perspective" as the recommended approach for top executives to understand and leverage CoPs. Initially, it clarifies the concepts of CoPs and the Real Option Perspective, highlighting their significance. These concepts then lay the groundwork for developing a management model for CoPs. The proposed management trajectory for CoPs involves five phases: Investment in CoPs, Recognition of Stagnation, Re-engagement with CoPs, Transition of Value, and finally, Dissolution and Feedback. This research seeks to expand the applicability of the Real Options framework in managing CoPs, providing leaders with strategic insights to fully realize the potential of CoPs in line with organizational objectives. Key Words:Social Learning, Communitiy of Practices
