目的
- 本文旨在论证实践社区对组织的有益影响。更具体地说，鉴于其固有的特点，实践社区支持个人和组织发展和传播组织文化，理解和指导个人和集体行动，确定身份，并最终应对变化和过渡。
设计/方法/方式
- 该文件从组织的建构主义观点出发，报告了通过关于实践社区的文献所吸取的经验教训，审查了关于这一专题的最新经验证据。
结果
- 边界对象和边界互动是使个人能够交流知识和发展实践的具体工具，从而成为一个社区。这种技能和专门知识的交流具体地塑造了使个人和组织行动具有意义的做法。尽管如此，组织和社区是开放的空间，在组织边界内外不断互动。因此，通过污染，即通过与不同行为者和背景的接触，可以扩大和重新制定各种做法，只要它们可能适合具体的要求。
独创性/价值
- 该文件认为，变革时期的实践社区可以成为学习和发展的空间，只要它们允许人们重新定义思维模式和实践，从而理解和科普新的文化情景。
Purpose
– This paper aims to argue the beneficial effects of communities of practices for organizations. More specifically, given their intrinsic features, communities of practices support individuals and organizations in developing and diffusing the organizational culture, in making sense and guiding individual and collective actions, in defining identities and finally in coping with change and transitions.
Design/methodology/approach
– Moving from a constructionist view of organizations, the paper reported the lessons learnt through literature about communities of practices, reviewing the most recent empirical evidences on the topic.
Findings
– Boundary objects and boundary interactions are the concrete tools that allow individuals to exchange knowledge and to develop practices, thus becoming a community. This exchange of skills and expertise concretely shapes the practices that give sense to individual and organizational actions. Nonetheless, organizations and communities are open spaces constantly in interaction, both inside and outside the organizational borders. Thus, through contamination, namely, through the encounter with different actors and contexts, practices could be expanded and reformulated as long as they might suit to specific demands.
Originality/value
– The paper argued that communities of practices in times of change could become a space for learning and development as long as they allow people to redefine mental models and practices and thus to make sense and to cope with a new cultural scenario.
