摘要:Cook & Brown’s alternative model for knowledge creation is presented. It is based on the critics of the SECI-model by Nonaka and Takeuchi utilizing the idea of a conversion between tacit and explicit knowledge for creating new knowledge. Cook & Brown identify two epistemologies of knowledge. They claim that the epistemology of possession treats knowledge as something people possess. Accordingly they criticize this epistemology as insuffi cient to count on knowing found in individual and group practice within organizations. Therefore, they call for the epistemology of practice. Their idea of organizational knowledge creation is based on an argument of the complementary nature of tacit and explicit knowledge both manifested, without a conversion, through actions in the processes of knowing. This idea is reviewed and fi nally commented.
