Abstract

Organizational knowledge resides in both the individual organizational member and in the relations among organizational members, that is, at the social level. In keeping with the anti-representationistic stand, at our disposal we find strong theoretical foundations with respect to individual human cognition, and individualized knowledge. Little is written, however, about the knowledge of social systems per se. For this reason we have chosen to bracket socialized organizational knowledge until a mediating theory and accompanying language is found, that allows for a conceptualization of knowledge of the social system, compatible with the autopoiesis perspective.
