| Abstract: | The increased emphasis on practice-based theories of knowing as an alternative to the more representational, knowledge-as-object approaches is welcomed. Building on the findings of a short empirical study into the 'knowledge management' (KM) initiatives of a global software organization, this study seeks to shed some light on a perceived confusion about the nature of organizational context. Such context is shown to be an inseparable part of knowing, which it creates and by which it is defined, and re-use. |
