Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to establish an understanding of commonsense, a valuable mechanism for navigating disruptive, volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (DVUCA) environments.

Design/methodology/approach

This study conducts a scientometric (bibliometric) analysis of commonsense through the lens of tacit knowledge, practical intelligence and sensemaking to unpack is nomological network.

Findings

This study reveals that tacit knowledge, practical intelligence and sensemaking are pivotal to the conceptualization of commonsense, crucial for navigating DVUCA environments. These elements interact within organizational contexts, influencing knowledge dynamics, decision-making processes and ethical leadership. The findings not only affirm the foundational role of these components in commonsense but also highlight their interplay in fostering organizational resilience, adaptability and strategic agility. This synergy underlines commonsense as a multifaceted and dynamic capability essential for effective management and leadership in complex settings.

Research limitations/implications

This study significantly enriches the theoretical landscape of commonsense by mapping its components within a scientometric-established nomological network. By identifying the interconnected roles of tacit knowledge, practical intelligence and sensemaking in organizational settings, it invites future scholarly endeavors to further dissect these relationships. It also encourages the exploration of additional elements such as emotional intelligence and cultural factors that may influence commonsense. This research opens new avenues for examining how these foundational aspects can be systematically nurtured and developed within diverse organizational environments.

Practical implications

This study provides actionable insights for organizational leaders and policymakers. Understanding the critical roles that tacit knowledge, practical intelligence and sensemaking play in navigating complex environments can guide the enhancement of training and development programs to strengthen these capacities. The importance of fostering a culture that supports continuous learning and ethical leadership is emphasized, as these elements are essential for sustaining competitive advantage and ensuring responsible governance. Managers are encouraged to integrate structured sensemaking processes and practical intelligence into strategic decision-making to improve adaptability and resilience when facing DVUCA challenges and opportunities.

Originality/value

This study offers a pioneering exploration of commonsense through the integration of tacit knowledge, practical intelligence and sensemaking into a cohesive framework. Employing scientometric analysis, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of how these cognitive processes interact to facilitate decision-making and problem-solving in complex environments. The study enriches knowledge management by presenting a refined perspective on the interplay between these elements, deepening the understanding of how commonsense is generated and applied within organizational settings. This contribution significantly enhances theoretical discourse on adaptability, decision-making and resilience in DVUCA environments.

让常识变得有意义:通过科学计量学解开其法则网络
目的本研究旨在建立对常识的理解,这是在破坏性、易变、不确定、复杂和模糊(DVUCA)环境中导航的一种有价值的机制。设计/方法/方法本研究通过隐性知识、实践智能和语义构建的视角,对常识进行科学计量(文献计量)分析,以解开其法理学网络。研究结果表明,隐性知识、实践智力和意义建构对于常识的概念化至关重要,对于在DVUCA环境中导航至关重要。这些因素在组织环境中相互作用,影响知识动态,决策过程和道德领导。研究结果不仅肯定了这些组成部分在常识中的基础作用,而且强调了它们在培养组织弹性、适应性和战略敏捷性方面的相互作用。这种协同作用强调了常识作为在复杂环境中有效管理和领导所必需的多方面和动态能力。研究局限/启示本研究通过在科学计量学建立的法理学网络中绘制其组成部分,显著丰富了常识的理论景观。通过确定隐性知识、实践智力和组织设置中的意义的相互关联的角色,它邀请未来的学术努力进一步剖析这些关系。它还鼓励探索可能影响常识的其他因素,如情商和文化因素。这项研究为研究如何在不同的组织环境中系统地培养和发展这些基础方面开辟了新的途径。实践意义本研究为组织领导者和决策者提供了可操作的见解。了解隐性知识、实用智能和语义在复杂环境中发挥的关键作用,可以指导培训和发展计划的改进,以加强这些能力。强调了培养支持持续学习和道德领导的文化的重要性,因为这些因素对于维持竞争优势和确保负责任的治理至关重要。鼓励管理人员在面对DVUCA的挑战和机遇时,将结构化的意义制定过程和实用情报整合到战略决策中,以提高适应性和弹性。原创性/价值本研究通过将隐性知识、实践智力和意义制造整合到一个有凝聚力的框架中,对常识进行了开创性的探索。采用科学计量学分析,该研究全面了解了这些认知过程如何相互作用,以促进复杂环境中的决策和解决问题。该研究通过对这些要素之间的相互作用提出了一个精细的视角,丰富了知识管理,加深了对常识如何在组织环境中产生和应用的理解。这一贡献显著增强了DVUCA环境中适应性、决策和弹性的理论论述。
