ORGANISATIONAL LEARNING AND HEIDEGGER’S ONTOLOGY - Does Philosophy Matter for Information Systems Design?

Angela Lacerda Nobre

2007

Abstract

Organisational learning has gained wide recognition both among academics and practitioners. The need to focus on core knowledge processes and to consider both their tacit and their explicit dimensions has led organisations to value the contributions from socio-philosophy. Heidegger’ ontology, in particular, is highly relevant because it radically shifts the attention towards the situated and discursive dimensions of organisational social contexts. This attention, focused on social practices and on language use, has critical implications to information systems design because it addresses the mechanisms through which work systems and their supporting technology help to determine ways of being.
