Knowing in Organizations: A Practice-Based Approach

by Davide Nicolini

This work explores the relationship among knowing, learning, and practice in the development of organizational knowledge. It explores the implications for intervention growing out of the notion that organizational knowledge cannot be conceived as a mental process residing in members' heads.

This book provides a very unusual, but certainly interesting, approach to studying organisations. I found it fascinating to read. It is strongly interpretivist in its paradigm, which leaves me with similar feelings to other books of its kind (i.e. how do I translate this into practical advice for policymakers). However, it certainly did give me some food for thought, and it offers a very different perspective to other organisational studies books.
