本文认为,组织生活的制度和政治背景与持续的辩论有关的“科学知识的模式”和模式2的假定兴起。它建议,本组织应提供空间,使新的和旧的知识生产具有更充分的理论化和政治意识。首先,它通过批判性地探索大量工作来做到这一点,这些工作继续坚持认为模式2及其许多变体往往会取代更传统的、所谓的模式1的科学知识生产形式。但它的主要贡献在于表明,几个世纪以来,科学知识生产背后潜伏着一种更隐蔽、更底层的知识生产模式--我们称之为模式0--它与基于权力和赞助关系的知识生产相对应。我们认为,这一概念不仅使我们能够对模式2的改宗者提出的主张进行更深入的批判,而且模式0已被证明是比模式1更持久的知识生产形式,很可能具有更长的寿命。我们建议读者不要太过卷入模式1/模式2关于知识对管理者的效用的辩论所提出的问题,而是希望进一步窥探模式0对知识生产的赞助的隐藏世界。
This article considers the institutional and political background to the life of Organization associated with continuing debates about 'modes of scientific knowledge' and the supposed rise of Mode 2. It suggests that Organization should provide space for a more fully theorized and politically aware position of the new-and old-production of knowledge. It does so by, first, critically exploring the substantial volume of work that continues to insist that Mode 2-and its many variants-have tended to displace more traditional, so-called Mode 1, forms of scientific knowledge production. But its main contribution lies in suggesting that what has lurked behind scientific knowledge production for centuries is a more insidious and underlying mode of knowledge production-one which we label Mode 0-that corresponds to knowledge production based upon relations of power and patronage. We argue that not only does this notion allow us to develop a more penetrating critique of the claims made by proselytizers of Mode 2 but that Mode 0 has proved a more enduring form of knowledge production than Mode 1 and may well have greater longevity. Rather than becoming too embroiled in questions raised by the Mode 1/ Mode 2 debate about the utility of knowledge for managers, we suggest that readers may wish instead to pry further into the hidden world of Mode 0 patronage of knowledge production.
