چکیده
Acknowledgements The research for this paper was supported by the DYNACOM project financed through the TSER Programme of the DG12 of the European Commission (Contract No. SOE1-CT1078). I am especially indebted to Clive Lawson who first suggested that I write a paper addressing the relevance of J.R. Commons' institutional economics to contemporary debates on organisational learning. I draw substantially on his published work in the fourth section of this paper. I have also benefited from numerous discussions with Christian Bessy on the relation of Herbert Simon's work to contemporary work focussing on the cognitive foundations of organisational behaviour.
