Abstract	Summary form only given as follows. The focus of this paper is to provide a framework for developing social structures using knowledge processes. This framework is useful in understanding how technology and its processes can be managed within the social structure of the organization. Knowledge processes are pertinent to the development of effective social structures that not only embrace new technologies, but also create technology through systemic knowledge creation, sharing and implementation. The premise of this notion is that technology whether in the form of computing hardware, software application, and/or applied science, can be combined with the expertise, skill, and experience of organizational members. Supporting this premise is the belief that technologies are not confined to a specific application, business, or industry, and culture, but are applicable to all aspects of the organization. With this in mind, it is the belief of the author that knowledge processes, originating from members' social constructs, experience, and the like can be combined to provide a basis for managing new technology. This theoretical framework has served as a template for researching how practitioners, scientists, and business personnel integrate new technology into the work place and move towards successful policy development for managing technology.
