Les déterminants du fonctionnement communautaire. Une étude comparative

Revue française de gestion, 2006, vol. 163, issue 4, 139-153

Abstract: Communities of practice contribute to an organization?s social capital by facilitating the emergence of specific relational structures, which are characterized by attenuated opportunistic behaviours and a general system of exchanges. They constitute collective answers to inevitable prescription breakdowns. The functioning of a community is characterized by privileged knowledge exchanges, creation of new collective knowledge and gradual identification of members to the community. A comparative study of two intra-organizational communities of practice illustrates the role of catalysing factors such as leadership style, actors? interdependences, hierarchy of expertise and access to specific resources.
