Discuss: Senior Management Knows It All

The motion for discussion is...
"Senior Management knows it all! discuss"

Goal
To critically assess Nonaka's claim that innovative knowledge-creating corporations can be modelled as 'organisms,' with Senior Management envisioning, Managers interpreting and Employees experiencing.

Instructions
Two groups (red-against, blue-for) will present an analysis and then debate the merits of their different positions, involving the whole class in the closing stages.
The readings given for initial investigation are listed below. We strongly encourage the use of additional secondary sources and providing examples as evidence supporting arguments.
