| Abstract: | This article focuses on the possibilities of studying and formalising practical knowledge which has a central role in organisational issues. This study views practical knowledge as embodied knowing that is only manifest through action in a particular situation. Although this knowledge is largely implicit, this research tries to make what is articulable explicit. Ontological and epistemological assumptions underlying the method developed are reviewed after highlighting the stakes involved in the codification of practices. The method is founded on participant observation, a video recording of situated subjective perspective and an ex post interview using this perspective to aid an actor in making part of his practical knowledge explicit. |
