This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of practice-based organizational learning and knowing.
- Based on the author's detailed study of safety practices in different corporate settings.
- The author uses this study to empirically describe how learning, knowing and organizing are practised.
- Centred on the concepts of "knowing in practice" and the "texture" of organizational knowledge.
- Gives a rich account of how organizations learn and how corporate practices and policies evolve.
"This is not only an insightful but also a necessary book. It draws together the practice-based school of thought within research on organizational and workplace learning. And, furthermore, the book takes us in an exemplary way through a case study in which the novel term "texture of practice" is used to illustrate how practice is weaved together with the workplace and its members. I will not hesitate to recommend this book to any of my students - and even my friends!"Bente Elkjaer, The Danish University of Education
