Seeing Organizational Learning: A `Cultural' View
反思了用文化视角研究组织学习的隐喻过程，阐述了这种解释性方法如何绕过将学习视为个体属性的概念问题，并比较了“文化”与“实践社群”两种集体路径。
What sight does a `cultural' approach to organizational learning enable? In an earlier essay my co-author and I argued that such an approach made it possible to bypass certain conceptual problems inherent in treating organizational learning as an attribute of individuals. In this essay I reflect on the metaphoric process that enabled that argument, which was implicitly as much methodological as it was ontological and epistemological, and spell out the attributes of such an approach, which today I would term `interpretive'. I touch briefly on questions of organizational size and geographic dispersal raised by another field-based study and conclude with a brief comparison of `culture' with `communities of practice', both of which enable a collective approach, and with some observations on the implications of a cultural-interpretive approach for research methods.
