Sense making: Trojan horse? Pandora's box?
本文探讨了意义建构概念及其在管理学中的应用，指出其源于建构主义但在社会建构主义视角下被解读和应用，从而提升了社会与管理科学的认识论讨论。
This article examines the concept of sense making and its application to management disciplines. The ideas of Karl Weick are discussed in terms of their contribution to these disciplines. Two contributions are identified—the validation of the “agent” and the impact of the adoption of the sense-making construct on current research paradigms, theory, and methodology. The theme of this article is that sense making, whose origin lies in constructivism, has been interpreted and applied within the social-constructionist worldview. The consequence of this action is a heightening of epistemological discussion in the social and management sciences. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
