Where does Management Knowledge come from?

Chapter 12 in The Diffusion and Consumption of Business Knowledge, 1998, pp 278-304 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract But what is usually called knowledge is structurally similar to knowledge of a problem. Knowledge is an activity which would be better described as a process of knowing. Indeed, as the scientist goes on inquiring into yet uncomprehended experiences, so do those who accept his discoveries as established knowledge keep applying this to ever changing situations, developing it each time a step further. Research is an intensely dynamic inquiring, while knowledge is a more quiet research. Both are ever on the move, according to similar principles, towards a deeper understanding of what is already known. (Polanyi, 1969)1
