Collaboration: is it only a metaphor? - an action perspective on how to make it real
نویسنده
چکیده
The current complexity of organisational environments is related to the challenges of the knowledge economy and it calls for a drastic and breakthrough development of conceptual frameworks able to inform new and innovative organisational practices. Knowledge management and organisational learning already take this lead though it is necessary to complement them and to use deeper and more complex insights able to grasp present organisational reality. Social philosophy in general and action philosophy in particular represent a powerful contribution to the improvement of organisational developmental potential. The present paper represents an illustration and an introduction to a drastically needed mediation between philosophical contributions and management theory and practice.
