Practice as the Site of Knowing: Insights from the Field of Telemedicine (2011, background): “…some scholars take a more radical stance, arguing that the relationship between knowledge and practice is better understood as a specific form of equivalence (Lave 1988, Cook and Yanow 1993, Lynch 2001, Engeström 2000, Orlikowski 2002, Gherardi and Nicolini 2002, Tsoukas 2005, Gherardi 2006).”
Understanding intuition: The case for two forms of intuition (2012, background): “Although there are various conceptualizations of the distinction between knowledge and knowing (see e.g. Nicolini et al., 2003; Polanyi, 1962a, 1969; Tsoukas, 1998, 2005a), in the case of personal knowledge (as opposed to organizational knowledge) all these authors agree that knowledge is mental…”
Simplexity: Sensemaking, organizing and storytelling for our time (2012, background): “…or sensemaking, is facilitated by frames which comprise the organization of past experience into generalized categories of meaning that become institutionalized in the form of organizational routines (Brown and Lewis, 2011; Feldman and Pentland, 2003; Tsoukas, 2005; Tsoukas and Chia, 2002).”
Uncertainty, Knowledge Problems, and Entrepreneurial Action (2018, background): “Of these fields, research on institutional complexity (Greenwood, Raynard, Kodeih, Micelotta, & Lounsbury, 2011), managing complex knowledge within organizations (Kogut & Zander, 1992; Tsoukas, 2005) or across interorganizational networks (Reagans & McEvily, 2003), or even research on managing compl”
Organizing for Mindfulness (2006, background): “Tsoukas (2005) makes this clear when he argues that generalizing is the prototypic act of organizing: A distinguishing feature of organization is the generation of recurring behaviours by means of institutionalized roles that are explicitly defined.”
Material knowing: the scaffolding of human knowledgeability (2006, background): “This is a view of knowing in practice that is receiving much attention by a number of researchers in the field (e.g., Lave, 1988; Blackler, 1995; Nicolini et al., 2003; Tsoukas, 2005).”
Theorizing Practice and Practicing Theory (2011, background): “…and sharing within organizations by such scholars as Bechky (2003a, 2003b; 2006), Brown and Duguid (1991, 1998), Boland and Tenkasi (1995), Carlile (2002, 2004), Cook and Brown (1999), Gherardi (2006), Gherardi and Nicolini (2002), Nicolini et al. (2003), Tsoukas (2005, 2009), and Wenger (1998).”
Perspective - Tacit Knowledge and Knowledge Conversion: Controversy and Advancement in Organizational Knowledge Creation Theory (2009, background): “Scholarly work indicated that organizational knowledge creation theory construes explicit knowledge as the representation of the tacit knowledge on which it is based (e.g., Tsoukas 2003, 2005; Hildreth and Kimble 2002).”
Leadership and trust: Their effect on knowledge sharing and team performance (2010, background): “We support Polanyi’s (1966) and Tsoukas’ (2005) view that tacit and explicit knowledge are not two ends of a continuum but two sides of the same coin.”
What contribution can insights from the complexity sciences make to the theory and practice of development management (2008, background): “A number of other organisational theorists problematise the instrumental application of complexity theory to organisations (Chia, 1998; Tsoukas and Hatch, 2001; Tsoukas, 2006).”
