Introduction:What does it Mean to View Organizations as Knowledge Systems?

Haridimos Tsoukas and Nikolaos Mylonopoulos

A chapter in Organizations as Knowledge Systems, 2004, pp 1-26 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Next time you receive your bank statement take a look at it. Probably the electricity and phone bills were directly debited, and the mortgage paid with a standing order. Perhaps you wrote a cheque for two tickets to the opera, and charged the cookery books you bought down town to your account. Suppose now that I look at all your bank statements for the past year. Can I tell what sort of person you are? Someone who always pays their bills on time? Someone who loves music and cooking? Probably. I have information about some of your financial transactions and, through them, I learn about your patterns of consumption. But do I get to know you?
