Explorando lacunas da teoria da criação do conhecimento: estudo de caso em uma empresa de alta tecnologia O objetivo deste artigo é explorar oito lacunas da Teoria da Criação do Conhecimento de Nonaka e Takeuchi identificadas em pesquisa anterior: legitimidade da empresa perante os stakeholders; alinhamento entre os objetivos da organização e dos stakeholders; uso de recursos como analogia e redundância; alta rotatividade e comprometimento; a fonte da informalidade; visão de negócio; Ba; e motivação. Emprega-se como método o estudo de caso único realizado em uma empresa de alta tecnologia nacional e internacionalmente reconhecida pela sua inovação, os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisadas com base nos critérios da análise de conteúdo. Como principais resultados as lacunas foram discutidas e confirmadas ou refutadas de acordo com a realidade da empresa estudada. Em complementaridade, a presente pesquisa identificou outros fatores-não citados na Teoria da Criação do Conhecimento-que podem ser destacados pela sua influência no processo de criação de novos conhecimentos: a rotatividade, o fator motivacional e a visão de negócio a longo prazo. Palavras-chave: Gestão do conhecimento. Criação do conhecimento. Teoria da criação do conhecimento. The aim of this paper is to explore eight gaps in the Knowledge Creation Theory of Nonaka and Takeuchi identified in a previous research: company legitimacy in the view of the stakeholders; the alignment of the goals of the organization and the stakeholders ; the use of some resources such as analogy and redundancy; the high turnover and commitment; the source of the informality; the business view; the Ba; and motivation. The research method is characterized by a single case study in a high technology company recognized as innovative both nationally and internationally, and the data was collected through interviews and analyzed based on the criteria of content analysis. As the main results, the gaps were discussed and confirmed or refuted according to the reality of the company studied. Furthermore, the research identified other factors-not listed in the Knowledge Creation Theory-that could be highlighted due to their relation with the knowledge creation process: the turnover, the motivational factor and the long term business outlook.

Rund jeder tausendste Krankenhauspatient stirbt aufgrund vermeidbarer unerwünschter Ereignisse. Empirische Studien zeigen Zusammenhänge zwischen der Sicherheitskultur in Krankenhäusern und der Fehlerhäufigkeit. Die bisherige Forschung weist allerdings Theoriedefizite auf. Unter Heranziehung des Konzeptes der Wissenskonversion nach Nonaka und Takeuchi (1995) wird versucht, einen theoretischen Bezugsrahmen für das Lernen aus Fehlern zu erarbeiten. Auf empirischer Basis wird eine Skala entwickelt, die unterschiedliche Profile der Wissenskonversion im Umgang mit Fehlern misst. Anhand einer 420 Probanden umfassenden Stichprobe aus 11 Abteilungen von sieben Krankenhäusern gelingt der Nachweis, dass eine lernende Sicherheitskultur die Fehlerhäufigkeit zu reduzieren imstande ist. Zudem zeigt sich, dass dem Prozess der Internalisierung der höchste Stellenwert zukommt. Organisational Learning and Adverse Events in Hospitals Approximately one in every thousand hospital patients dies because of preventable adverse events. Empirical findings show that safety culture is essential for improving the quality of health care. However, the research so far has theoretical deficits. Using Nonaka and Takeuchi's (1995) concept of knowledge conversion, our paper develops a theoretical and empirical framework to show how people can learn from mistakes. On the basis of results of 420 probands from 11 departments in seven hospitals it was possible to prove that a learning safety culture does indeed reduce the frequency of errors. In addition, it reveals that the process of internalisation contributes most to this reduction.

“…In this conceptualization, KC is based on the notion of tacit and explicit knowledge as convertible elements (Nonaka, ; Nonaka & Takeuchi, ; see also Huotari, ). The SECI model has inspired researchers to criticize and further develop the ideas of KC in interaction (Cook & Brown, ; Gourlay, ; Gueldenberg & Helting, ; Morner & von Krogh, ; Tsoukas, ). This article focuses on this kind of research because the theoretical bases of these new critical approaches have not been thoroughly explored.…”

“…However, hermeneutics and phenomenology are not widely used in the research on KC, although they have been considered to offer a useful basis for examining human interaction (Tsoukas, ; Värlander, ; Yanow & Tsoukas, ). Thus far, KM research has seldom focused on the human being as intersubjectively created (see Gueldenberg & Helting, ).…”

This study explores the effect of interaction in research on knowledge creation (KC) and its dependence on the conceptualization of a human being. A framework for understanding KC with hermeneutic phenomenology is developed, based on an analysis of recent KC research and key texts on hermeneutic phenomenology. The results obtained indicate that recent KC research still emphasizes the concept of knowledge as an asset inside the human mind, although the interest is in knowing and interpersonal relationships in working communities. Exploration of the use of the effect of interaction in research on KC shows that successful interaction is connected to the ideas of openness, critical thinking, and awareness of past experiences. These elements reflect the general ideas of the hermeneutic tradition without taking into account the historical roots of hermeneutics or questioning the concept of a human being behind them. It is concluded that the hermeneutic circle and phenomenological conceptualization of a human being provide a better defined and more coherent structure for understanding the event of KC as a future-oriented, conscious act of interaction. The framework developed offers three fundamental areas for exploration: structure of the interactive event, construction of the human experience in interaction, and modes of being in interaction.
