RESUMO

Contribuições sobre a gestão de conhecimento e a aprendizagem organizacional para uma estratégia organizacional sustentável têm suscitado interesse crescente nos últimos anos. No entanto, a corrente tradicional desses estudos e a teoria da firma baseada no conhecimento não possibilitam uma perspectiva mais ampla e integradora do problema. Este ensaio sumaria conclusões de um levantamento bibliográfico sobre a importância das técnicas de compartilhamento de conhecimento tácito, sobre o papel das comunidades de prática no estímulo à transferência do conhecimento e sobre o uso da narrativa das estórias organizacionais como veículo de transferência, todas reproduzindo o enfoque dominante sobre o conhecimento organizacional. E sugere uma abordagem alternativa, integradora, a partir da biologia cognitiva e das redes de comunicação e das estruturas de significados a ela associadas.

ABSTRACT

Contributions about knowledge management and organizational learning towards a sustainable organizational strategy have been arousing increased attention in recent years. However these mainstream studies and the knowledge-based theory of the firm do not enable a more comprehensive and integrative perspective of the problem. This academic essay summarizes the conclusions of a bibliographic research about tacit knowledge sharing techniques, the role of the communities of practice in fostering knowledge transference and about the uses of organizational storytelling as a knowledge transference vehicle, reproducing the main approach to organizational knowledge. It suggests an alternative integrative approach, founded on cognitive biology and on its communication networks and structures of meaning.
