Comparing Methods for Mapping Organizational Cognition
通过实地研究，比较社会表征映射和因果映射两种组织认知映射方法的差异、使用条件和局限性，帮助研究者选择合适的方法。
This paper presents a field study exploring the differences between two methods of mapping organizational cognition — social representation and causal mapping. After introducing the two methods and describing the mapping procedures in detail, the paper discusses the different outcomes yielded by the two methodologies. Conditions of use and intrinsic limitations of each method are then examined in the light of the results. The paper concludes with some reflections on the notion and practice of mapping organizational cognition.
