| | This symposium intends to discuss the relative effectiveness of knowledge accumulation, articulation and codification processes in the context of organizational search for, and development of, new capabilities.
The contributions of theoretical nature point to the relevance of cognitive efforts inherent in knowledge articulation and codification activities to supplement and eventually overcome the shortcomings of tacit or routine-based learning behavior in dynamic contexts.
From the study of empirical contexts as diverse as re-engineering processes in hospitals, bank acquisitions, joint ventures and quality improvement projects, then, we find preliminary evidence that routinization, articulation and codification processes vary in their relative effectiveness as capability-building mechanisms, and that their effectiveness might depend upon the characteristics of the task to be learned. |
