Management as Reflexive Practice and the Role of Transactive Knowledge
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper analyzes management practices as reflexive practices based on transactive knowledge (Brauner, 2002). It relates the concept of transactive knowledge systems to central concepts of structuration theory (Giddens, 1984), namely structuration and the duality of structure. Structuration theory provides a practice-based foundation of the concept of transactive knowledge systems. It sheds light on the social processes involved in (meta-) knowledge generation in systems, groups, or communities of practice. Distinguishing between knowledge and metaknowledge allows for a better understanding of the involvement of knowledge in performing reflexive social practices. Furthermore, the paper refers to budgeting for an illustration of transactive knowledge in management practices.
