Abstract
This paper discusses the requirements that are necessary to render the organisational potentials of modem information and communication technology usable for the development of creative learning enterprises. It is known that knowledge-intensive work processes require new co-operative, self-organising forms for work, organisation and learning that support creativity and that can be supported by information and communication systems (in particular teleco-operation systems). The problem is that within the framework of the information processing paradigm it is not sufficient in itself to treat only the emergence of information. The concept of self-organisation has justification here, because during this process information is itself generated.
