Summary

Summary

This comprehensive two-volume collection draws together the key contributions - both theoretical and empirical - from economics and management literature on human and organisational knowledge, learning and routine behaviours.

Volume I discusses conceptions of knowledge and the problems of organisational and technological learning. Volume II contains both theoretical and applied research on organisational routines.
