{"title":"BEYOND TACIT KNOWLEDGE: ΗOW MICHAEL POLANYI’S THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE ILLUMINATES THEORY DEVELOPMENT IN ORGANIZATIONAL RESEARCH","authors":"Demetris Hadjimichael, Igor Pyrko, Haridimos Tsoukas","doi":"10.5465/amr.2022.0289","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5465/amr.2022.0289","url":null,"abstract":"In this essay, we present Michael Polanyi’s theory of knowledge and outline its implications for theory development in organizational research. While Polanyi is best known in the field for his concept of tacit knowledge, we discuss here several other cognate concepts Polanyi has also introduced, notably: conviviality, indwelling, tradition and lore, coherence, and post-critical reason, and show how they help us better understand organizational theorizing. Specifically, we argue the following. First, when engaged in theory creation, organizational scholars integrate largely unspecifiable particulars, in search of deepening coherence, by dwelling in a fiduciary framework of previous theory, others’ narrativized experiences, and their own personal experiences. Secondly, driven by intellectual passions and commitments, organizational scholars bring about conceptual novelty by seeking to redirect intellectual attention to hitherto tacitly accepted subsidiary particulars, which they seek to re-integrate in novel ways. And thirdly, since all knowledge, no matter how abstract, necessarily involves skilful action, organizational scholars dwell in scientific practice and, therefore, interiorize – that is, they become subsidiarily aware of - the practice’s collective purpose, which they freely and responsibly enact through the exercise of public liberty.","PeriodicalId":7127,"journal":{"name":"Academy of Management Review","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136130141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I develop a novel, emergence-based theory of executive idea origination in the context of firms’ strategic responses to such shocks. By considering the top management team as a complex system, I suggest that executives may arrive at high-quality shock response ideas due to the (mitigating or reinforcing) workings of dynamic, situation-specific, interrelated constructs located at the individual, dyadic, and team levels of analysis. These constructs are formed and evolve according to an emergence process triggered by the focal shock. In my theorizing, I link dual-process models to idea origination (i.e., the interconnected execution of problem definition and idea generation), identify different modalities of controlled processing and categorizations of dyadic dynamics, and examine the complementary role of autonomous versus dynamics-driven new schema processing. Extant literature on executives’ roles in strategic situations, in general, has tended to consider TMTs as monolithic decision-making bodies of individuals carrying enduring, situation-independent, ex ante known characteristics and/or engaged in stable, uniform interactions. Instead, I conclude that individual executives navigating uncharted waters, such as unprecedented shocks, may actually originate shock response ideas in much more fickle, multifarious, and shock-specific ways.","PeriodicalId":7127,"journal":{"name":"Academy of Management Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136130279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This view is embraced across conceptual and empirical research and effectively binds a particular style of reasoning, as a common grammar, to a specific form that theoretical explanations, as a structured set of propositions, should take. In this paper, I analyse the characteristics of the propositional grammar and highlight several significant problems including its high incidence rate of false positives in empirical research (false hypotheses that are accepted as true) and how it generally limits our explanation of phenomena by casting them as effects to be predicted. Informed by this analysis, I make the case for theoretical triangulation and offer a prescriptive model whereby researchers can strengthen their explanations of phenomena by iterating across multiple theoretical grammars rather than steadfastly using a single grammar. Using examples from prior research, I show how such theoretical triangulation helps mitigate the specific inferential biases and threats to validity of any grammar and leads to better explanations overall. I conclude the paper with spelling out the implications of this argument and offer a set of practical recommendations for implementing the practice of theoretical triangulation.","PeriodicalId":7127,"journal":{"name":"Academy of Management Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134911147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
