Already a while ago, one of my Masters students in the Netherlands (Cindy Jooren) submitted a very interesting thesis studying the role that knowledge management plays in improving the innovative power of a company. Searching for emergence and networked interaction, she used agent based simulations. She did the research in the company she worked for, and therefor it took some time before we could make it public. In order to wait no longer for a full article publication, you already have access to the thesis version here.
I downloaded and read the thesis. It's very interesting and contains many insights into the importance of complexity science for the management of corporate enterprises. It's a fascinating read.
