“…Contributing to this debate, Rowe and Boyce [12] emphasised the importance of the evolution of appropriate organisational structures in developing a leadership-driven learning process and creating an environment in which learning can occur, as opposed to reinforcing existing learning pathologies. Romme and Van Witteloostuijn [13] describe triple-loop learning as a higher order learning process or methodologies giving members of an organisation the ability to re-frame and 'see things in totally new ways'.…”

Health is a multidisciplinary domain. We contend that such a domain can benefit by being framed as a knowledge cluster. The objective of this paper is to map out a health research cluster in terms of an ontology. In this way, key relationships and informational exchanges can be captured and which enable more prudent use of critical knowledge assets within the cluster. We proffer an ontology based on our assessment of the healthcare space internationally and distillation of relevant extant literature. Health Cluster ApproachThe Health Cluster is a community of practice, comprising a diverse group of researchers in an Australian University. Defined by Wenger [1], 'Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly'. As a community of practice, the Health Cluster drew researchers from a range of fields including acute care, sociology and business information technology. When such a group forms, there are inevitable differences in ontological traditions. The focus of the group was developing and delivering a research strategy broadly described as the "Business of Health". The Health Cluster focused on a diversity of work, including health informatics, mobile solutions for chronic disease management, and social/behavioural factors with STI vaccines, especially in Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.The Health Cluster as a community of practice included researchers with backgrounds from business information technology (IT), knowledge management (KM), and enterprise integration (EI). Some researchers were from a background in social research, others were involved in electronic document and records management solutions, sometimes with a focus on technology platforms. The challenge therefore, was to develop an overarching research position and framework that was embracing and accommodating, as well as extensible.Within a community of practice, knowledge is developed. We posit that in the synthesis of knowledge and research themes as community of practice, there is development of explicit knowledge from the tacit. As a community of practice, knowledge is discovered through co-participation and codified in some form. The challenge then becomes one of knowledge from one community of practice to another, the purpose being the articulation and dissemination of new knowledge. Often, the problem of a multi-disciplinary community of practice is the approach of research from different ontological traditions and perspectives. Further, the term "ontology" has taken upon different meanings in computer sciences as opposed to its use in sociology. As a community of practice, rather than defend particular ontological perspectives, our approach taken was embracing different research paradigms and to find a means to accommodate the growth of knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the emergence of a Health Cluster research framework, which was developed through a multi-discipl...

Organizational behavior is "a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within an organization, and then it applies that knowledge to make organizations work more effectively" (Robbins and Judge 2007: p. 34). The behavior is collectively influenced by the individual, the group, the organization, and the environment (Mullins 2007).From the perspective of organizational behavior, ERM can be considered as a process of organizational change from the traditional, silo-based risk management approach to a holistic and integrated risk management approach. This change should be led by an individual or a team (a change agent), which is supported by the board and senior management, through motivation, organizational learning, and creation of a risk-aware culture. This chapter reviews the literature on theories of organizational change, organizational learning, organizational culture, motivation, and leadership, under the umbrella of organizational behavior theories. In addition, factors that drive and resist organizational change are identified. Some sources of resistance to organizational change can be directly or indirectly linked to organizational learning, organizational culture, motivation, and leadership. Moreover, the relationships among these theories of organizational behavior are elaborated in this chapter.
