Managing Knowledge in Organizations: A Critical Pragmatic Perspective

This book explores organizational  knowledge and how it can be pragmatically exploited within many of  today’s socio-technical-economic contexts. It provides both conceptual  and empirical findings across different organizational contexts,  addressing areas which have either been under-developed, such as power  in relationship to knowledge, or require further examination, such as  the role a more holistic, action-oriented view can contribute towards  identifying and retaining expert knowledge within an organization,  especially within digital environments. Further, it looks at how  different perceptions, mental models, beliefs, and emotions (or lack  of), as well as differing actions and behaviors, affect our abilities to  detect hidden risks. This book will guide researchers in rendering the  relationship between the managing of knowledge and the presence of risk  more visible.
