metadata.value: This paper seeks to advance the understanding of the corporate university phenomenon by
  addressing the role that a corporate university plays in coordinating the flows of organisational
  knowledge. Drawing on the longitudinal in-depth case study of Severstal Corporate University,
  we illustrate how a corporate university contributes to dynamic knowledge management in the
  company by serving as a coordinator of its knowledge flows. The study provides evidence of
  how a corporate university — by performing three different knowledge-coordinating roles —
  operates as a corporate function to support evolving business strategies during different
  periods of organisational development. The findings suggest the following roles of a corporate
  university are related to the coordination of knowledge flows: knowledge-harmonising,
  knowledge-disseminating, and knowledge-centralising. As a result of the study, a corporate
  university appears as a dynamic concept with development stages that can be explained from
  a teleological rather than life cycle perspective. That is, a corporate university’s development
  is driven by its changing purpose and goals that are constructed and reconstructed according
  to the evolving knowledge needs of its parent company.
