| Abstract: | Organizational knowledge is much talked about but little understood. In this paper the authors set out to conceptualize organizational knowledge and explore its implications for knowledge management. The authors take on board Polanyi's insight concerning the personal character of knowledge and fuse it with Wittgenstein's insight that all knowledge is, in a fundamental way, collective. The authors do mis in order to show, on the one hand, how individuals appropriate knowledge and expand their knowledge repertoires, and, on the other hand, how knowledge, in organized contexts, becomes organizational. The authors' claim is that knowledge is the individual capability to draw distinctions, within a domain of action, based on an appreciation of context or theory, or both. |
