Social practices and the management of knowledge in project environments

Interactional perspective on environmental communication in construction projects

“…Bresnen et al, 2003;Styhre et al, 2004). In the construction projects studied, the tensions between the ECs' personal environmental beliefs and the production-focused and time-pressed agenda of the projects supported this view.…”

“…How environmental information is appropriated and acted upon by the users in construction projects largely depends on the urgency of the communication situation, the local context, the role and status as well as persuasive force of the human mediator, and the appropriateness of the mediating tools used (e.g. Bresnen et al, 2003;Rä isä nen and Linde, 2004).…”

“…Conversely, the projects, in accordance with findings from previous research (Fong and Chu, 2006;Styhre et al, 2006), were overwhelmingly 'talking' cultures. As has been mentioned above, the discourse of the EMSs was governed by a management logic consisting of a rational, positivist linear process, while the daily acts of implementing environmental directives in the project were rife with uncertainty requiring rapid, ad-hoc decisions that relied on previous knowledge, experience and affect (also Bresnen et al, 2003). The intranet-based EMS did not possess the potential to engage project members, nor were its resources exploited by the environmental actors.…”

Understanding ISD and Innovation through the Lens of Fragmentation

“…The ISD and innovation process is described as disconnected and fragmented, and as a sequence of activities determined by emergent events. ISD and innovation has also been described as culturally differentiated, temporal and spatial, having restricting implications for knowledge sharing (Bresnen et al, 2003). These ambiguities of ISD have also been highlighted in research on project risk management (see e.g.…”

Meios de compartilhamento do conhecimento no contexto de projetos de tecnologia da informação

“…neg., Florianópolis, v.4, n.2, p.30-60, jun./dez. 2011 Uma das competências críticas para a gestão de projetos é a gestão do conhecimento (RUUSKA; VARTIAINEN, 2003, SENG;ZANNES;PACE 2002, BRESNEN et al, 2003, CRAWFORD, 2000. A gestão do conhecimento no contexto de um projeto é a aplicação de princípios e processos projetados para tornar conhecimento relevante disponível ao time do projeto.…”
