Abstract

A travers une étude de cas exploratoire menée en 2005-2006 dans un cabinet d'avocats d'affaires français, notre objectif est de proposer une grille d'analyse permettant de comprendre comment l'utilisation d'un système de knowledge management peut transformer le mode de production des services professionnels, d'une part, et rendre possible un certain contrôle de l'utilisation des connaissances organisationnelles d'autre part. Cet article s'inscrit à l'intersection féconde de deux champs de recherche, le contrôle de gestion et le knowledge management dans les firmes de services professionnels (PSF), et a pour ambition de dépasser la double croyance selon laquelle la production de services intellectuels et l'utilisation des connaissances organisationnelles ne peuvent pas faire l'objet d'un contrôle formel centralisé.
