COMPLEX KNOWLEDGE
‘Complex Knowledge is a thought-provoking, insightful, and deeply engaging exploration
of the nature of knowledge in and about organizations. Not only does it offer a compel-
ling critique of contemporary ways of understanding organizational knowledge, but it
articulates a powerful alternative vocabulary grounded in such notions as situated
practice, enactment, mutual constitution, improvisation, temporality, and creativity.
Most importantly, it forces us – as researchers and practitioners – to take seriously the
inherent reflexivity of our ongoing actions in the world.’

Wanda J. Orlikowski, Eaton-Peabody Chair of Communication Sciences and Professor

of Information Technologies & Organization Studies, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
‘Complex Knowledge shows just how important and rich is the emerging insight that
organizations are systems of knowledge. Hari Tsoukas’ deep, accessible probing of ways
in which organizations construct, process, and justify their knowledge is a defining
moment in organizational scholarship. It vaults the idea of organizational knowing to
the top of the stack of explanations that work. An extraordinary mind is at work in this
marvellous volume!’
Karl Weick, Rensis Likert Distinguished University Professor of Organizational Behavior
and Psychology, University of Michigan
‘Providing a comprehensive collection of Prof. Tsoukas’ work, this book is an eye-opener
for anyone who studies knowledge in organizations. Prof. Tsoukas demonstrates with
clarity and brilliance, that knowledge is a complex construct that gives rise to new ways
of understanding the very phenomenon of organizing. Highly recommended!’
Georg von krogh, Professor of Management, University of [Link]

‘The long conceptual journey undertaken in the organizational sciences from a simple
robotized view of man – a cog in a machine – to something more intelligent, more
complex, and altogether more human, has been a long one. The studies described in Hari
Tsoukas’ exciting new book shows us that we may at last be nearing the end of the
journey. The new world of organizations is one of complexity and change rather than
one of order and stability – one that pays homage to Heraclitus rather than to Parmeni-
des. In this dynamic and evolving setting knowledge is at a premium as never before. But
what kind of knowledge? Tsoukas’ exploration of this question leads him to link issues of
organizational epistemology to the new theories of complexity. In doing so, he develops
an ecological approach to the nonlinearities that characterize most of organizational life
and that have been so neglected by more traditional treatments of organization. Tsou-
kas’ book will be essential reading for those wishing to understand where the new
science of organizations is heading for in the twenty-first century.’
Max Boisot, Professor of Strategic Management, Open University of Catalunya

‘Not all of us can grasp the what and the why of the philosophical bits of the emerging
knowledge management conversation – even though we know ‘knowledge’ is a pro-
foundly obscure term. Hari Tsoukas is one of a small handful capable of illuminating
how whatever we might mean by knowledge and its management hangs from our
epistemological assumptions. The chapters in this book are clear-cut jewels, accessible
and practical, grounded in deep philosophical study, and wide reading of the new
literature on knowledge in organizations. We are fortunate to have Tsoukas to guide us
– his incisive thinking and impish style shine brightly through the gloom and confu-
sions of our theorizing about knowledge.’

 Introduction: Professor
Bleent, the Floon Beetle,
and Organizational
Epistemology
It is the mark of an educated man to seek in each inquiry the sort of
precision which the nature of the subject permits
(Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics)
Science probes; it does not prove
(Gregory Bateson, Mind and Nature)
Life is a process, not a justification
(Stafford Beer, The Heart of Enterprise)
The ethical imperative: Act always so as to increase the number of
choices. The aesthetic imperative. If you desire to see, learn how to act
(Heinz von Foerster, ‘On Constructing a Reality’)
[W]e are actually at the beginning of a new scientific era. We are
observing the birth of a science that is no longer limited to idealized
and simplified situations but reflects the complexity of the real world,
a science that views us and our creativity as part of a fundamental
trend present at all levels of nature
(Ilya Prigogine, The End of Certainty)
Our first intellectual obligation is to abandon the Myth of Stability that
played so large a part in the Modern age: only thus can we heal the
wounds inflicted on Reason by the seventeenth-century obsession
with Rationality, and give back to Reasonableness the equal treatment
of which it was for so long deprived [. . .] The ideals of practical thinkers
are more realistic than the optimistic daydreams of simple-minded
calculators, who ignore the complexities of real life, or the pessimistic
nightmares of their critics, who find these complexities a source of
despair
(Stephen Toulmin, Return to Reason)
Alongside [. . .] the experience of repetition, humans have a second
experience, that of creativity. These two experiences are not incom-
patible, nor a matter of choice. We have both experiences, and both
2 Introduction

experiences are part of reality. Science, in its most universal form, has
to be the search for ‘the narrow passage’ between the determined and
the arbitrary
(Immanuel Wallerstein, The End of the World as we Know It)

T here is a cartoon by Don Martin in Karl Weick’s classic The Social Psychology
of Organizing (1979) that I find myself often thinking about. Professor
Bleent, an entomologist, sets out, along with his assistant, Miss Fonebone, to
search for a rare insect, the Floon Beetle, which lives in the desert. This is a very
rare insect: only one Floon Beetle lives at a time, and it comes out from the
sand every 1300 years to lay just one egg! Having spotted this valuable beetle
in the desert, Professor Bleent runs expectantly towards it, waving his magni-
fying glass, full of joy at being so unbelievably lucky as to have the chance to
study this rare insect. As soon as he approaches the Floon Beetle he kneels in
the sand, eyes wide open with excitement and curiosity, and puts his magni-
fying glass over the beetle. Alas, as soon as he starts examining it with his
magnifying glass, under the scorching desert sun, the Floon Beetle is burnt.
Professor Bleent’s investigation has come to a sad end. His very object of study,
the extremely rare Floon Beetle, disappears with a sizzling sound. The method
of his investigation destroyed what he had long been looking forward to
studying with such enthusiasm.
This is an insightful cartoon. Weick (1979: 27–9) refers to it to argue that it
helps to ‘know what you are doing’. He makes this point in the context of his
critique of those obsessive quantitative investigators who, being so fixated on
counting, are determined to get the organization into a countable form and,
consequently, strip it ‘of what made it worth counting in the first place’ (ibid.
29). The broader issue, I think, is the extent to which our forms of knowledge
and methods of investigation respect the complexity of the phenomenon at
hand (Wallerstein 1999: chs. 10, 14). To put it differently, what are the forms of
understanding and modes of knowing that will do justice to the object of
study? How can organizational researchers avoid ending up in the position
of Professor Bleent, whereby they oversimplify, caricature, and even destroy
the phenomena they wish to know about? How can researchers’ and practi-
tioners’ thinking ac-knowledge the complexity of a phenomenon without
being paralysed by it? What are the complex forms of thinking and acting in
organizations?
These epistemological questions have always been important, in one way or
another, in organization and management studies (and the policy sciences at
large), but they are particularly so today since, thanks to a number of techno-
logical, economic, and cultural changes in the last couple of decades, the idea
that organizations can be usefully seen as knowledge systems has gained cre-
dence (Boisot 1998; Choo and Bontis 2002; Easterby-Smith and Lyles 2003;
 Introduction 3

Grant and Spender 1996; Newell et al. 2002; Tsoukas and Mylonopoulos
2004a). It is not only organizational and management researchers who, as
professional enquirers, are concerned with knowledge, but organizational
members too, at least if we take a knowledge-based view of organizations.
Epistemology is the domain of all those concerned with knowledge, in all its
forms.
Viewing organizations as systems of knowledge highlights the crucial role of
human interpretation, communication, and skills in generating effective or-
ganizational action. Moreover, it enables us to move beyond the individual to
explore the broader social basis—the social practices, forms of interaction,
values, routines, power structures, and the organization of work—upon
which individual knowledge and action in organizations draw. Seen from a
knowledge-based perspective, the locus of individual understanding is not so
much in the head as in situated practice. Accordingly, such a view opens up
possibilities to explore how individuals, in concrete contexts of work, make
use of tools, communicate with others in authoritative systems of coordin-
ation, and draw on institutionalized beliefs and cognitive schemata to carry
out their tasks.
From a knowledge-based perspective, questions of epistemology—What is
knowledge, how can it be obtained, and how can knowledge claims be justi-
fied?—are no longer the prerogative of philosophers and social scientists alone
but of organizations too. If we see epistemology in Bateson’s sense (1979: 246),
namely as a branch of science concerned with ‘the study of how particular
organisms or aggregates of organisms know, think, and decide’ (emphasis in the
original), it makes good sense to want to study how organizations construct,
process, and justify knowledge (Churchman 1971; Daft and Weick 1984;
Krogh and Roos 1995; Mitroff 1990). An enquiry into organizational episte-
mology would be concerned, inter alia, with the following questions: What is
organizational knowledge and what forms does it take? What are the forms of
life within which different kinds of knowledge are embedded? How is new
knowledge created? How do individuals draw on different forms of organiza-
tional knowledge, with what effects? What are the representational and social
practices through which organizations construct and communicate their
forms of knowledge? How are knowledge claims justified and legitimated
within organizations?
An enquiry into organizational epistemology would, however, be incom-
plete without looking at organizations not only as users of knowledge but also
as makers of knowledge claims put forward in the public arena. While it is
important that we look at organizations from ‘within’ to examine how they
construct different forms of knowledge and how they draw on them, with
what effects (Tsoukas and Mylonopoulos 2004b), it is also important to look at
organizations from ‘outside’ to explore how the knowledge claims they make
are justified to external audiences, with what effects. This is especially import-
ant in the ‘semiotic’ (or ‘digital’) economy (Brynjolfsson and Kahin 2000; Lash
4 Introduction

and Urry 1994) and the ‘risk’ and ‘network’ society (Beck 1992; Castells 1996),
since, in such a sign-rich, high-connectivity environment, organizations not
only produce knowledge-intensive products and services, or draw on sophis-
ticated forms of knowledge and expertise along their value chain, but put
forward explicitly knowledge claims for public adoption. A company, for
example, that claims its products or waste do no harm to the environment
or, even stronger, that its products conform to certain standards of excellence,
values, and ethical work practices, or that its policies are informed by certain
conceptions of human rights and the common good is in the business of,
among other things, putting forward certain knowledge claims, which, like all
knowledge claims, invite further questions of justifiability. How are organiza-
tional knowledge claims justified to outside stakeholders? What conceptions
of the public good do they assume? How are they rhetorically articulated and
organizationally supported? How are competing organizational knowledge
claims decided upon?
Epistemological questions may not always have as dramatic a quality as in the
case of Professor Bleent’s expedition, but they certainly involve questions
related to requisite variety: Are our methods of knowing adequate for the task
at hand? This applies both to practitioners and organizational researchers.
Epistemological questions are not only social-scientific ones—namely, how
organizations use, create, and justify knowledge—but also philosophical:
whether methods of knowing employed by organizational members and or-
ganizational researchers are good enough. From a knowledge-based perspec-
tive, a focus on organizational knowledge is a focus on two levels: on the one
hand, how practitioners in organizations use forms of knowledge to carry out
their tasks and, on the other, how individuals, be they practitioners or re-
searchers, think about organizational phenomena. At the first level the main
question is: How do individuals in organizations know and act? At the second
level—the meta-level—the main question is: How do individuals know what
they know? How do researchers know what they know?
For Bateson, epistemology is not only a branch of science but also a branch
of philosophy. ‘As philosophy’, says Bateson ‘epistemology is the study of the
necessary limits and other characteristics of the processes of knowing, think-
ing, and deciding’ (1979: 246). As the study of necessary limits, epistemology
involves exploring the limits to dominant forms of knowing—those forms I
call, in several places in the book, ‘representational’ or ‘intellectualist’—and
how such limits might be overcome. Hence my concern here with investigat-
ing what may be called ‘complex’ forms of knowing.
An object of study is complex when it is capable of surprising an observer,
and its behaviour cannot be reduced to the behaviour of its constituent parts
(Axelrod and Cohen 2000; Stacey 1996; Taylor 2001). Complex social systems
require complex forms of knowing; namely, forms of understanding that are
sensitive to context, time, change, events, beliefs and desires, power, feedback
loops, and circularity (Tsoukas 1994). Complex understanding is grounded on
 Introduction 5

an open-world (as opposed to a closed-world) ontology, an enactivist (as

opposed to representational) epistemology, and a poetic1 (as opposed to in-
strumental) praxeology. A complex form of understanding sees the world as
being full of possibilities, which are enacted by purposeful agents embedded in
power-full social practices. As Winograd and Flores (1987: 33) point out, aptly
summarizing the Heideggerian perspective, ‘a person is not an individual
subject or ego, but a manifestation of Dasein within a space of possibilities,
situated within a world and within a tradition’ (see also Spinosa, Flores, and
Dreyfus 1997).
An open-world ontology assumes that the world is always in a process
of becoming, of turning into something different. Flow, flux, and change are
the fundamental processes of the world. The future is open, unknowable
in principle, and it always holds the possibility of surprise. An enactivist
epistemology assumes that knowing is action. We bring the world forward
by making distinctions and giving form to an unarticulated background of
understanding. Knowledge is the outcome of an active knower who has a
certain biological structure, follows certain historically shaped cognitive prac-
tices, and is rooted within a consensual domain and sociocultural practice.
A poetic praxeology sees the practitioner as an active being who, while inev-
itably shaped by the sociocultural practices in which he/she is rooted, neces-
sarily shapes them in turn by undertaking action that is relatively opaque in
its consequences and unclear in its motives and desires, unreflective and
situated in its mode of operation, but inherently capable of self-observation
and reflexivity, thus susceptible to chronic change. According to this view, a
human agent is similar to a poet, who gives distinctive form to linguistic raw
materials in often unexpected ways, but under the influence of past genres and
current literary norms and the Zeitgeist, without being fully conscious of the
process of creation and without controlling how his/her work will be inter-
preted by others and incorporated into further cycles of poetic creation
and language change. A poetic praxeology acknowledges the complicated
motives of human action, makes room for the influence of the past and its
transmutation into new forms in the present, understands the relatively
opaque nature of human intentionality, allows for chance events, influences,
and feedback loops, and accepts the inescapable contextuality and temporality
of all human action.
The studies published in this book focus on knowledge in Bateson’s double
sense of epistemology: as social-scientific explorations they address questions
of how knowledge is used in and by organizations, and as meta-theoretical
enquiries they address questions of how practitioners and researchers know
what they know and how they may attain complex forms of understanding.
The first sense is epistemology as a social-scientific enquiry, while the latter is
epistemology as a philosophical enquiry.
What I find so attractive in the knowledge-based view of organizations is
that it enables researchers to raise important questions related to knowledge in
6 Introduction

precisely the double sense mentioned above. The benefit is that, by so doing,
researchers can show the recursive loop between ways of knowing and know-
ledge produced—epistemology-as-a-branch-philosophy is connected with
epistemology-as-a-science. Moreover, practitioners’ use of organizational
knowledge can be recursively connected with researchers’ modes of knowing.
If practitioners are to cope with organizational complexity—how people in
organizations interactively know, think, act, create, and change—they must be
prepared to complexify their modes of enquiry (that is, complexify organiza-
tional epistemology). And if researchers are to acknowledge the complexity of
organizational epistemology, they must try to complexify their formal theor-
etical explorations too. What we know and how we know are recursively
linked. Researchers will not be able to understand and theorize how effective
and creative action in organizations arises unless they obtain a nuanced
understanding of organizational knowledge. And vice versa: a subtle under-
standing of organizational knowledge is possible if an open-world ontology,
an enactivist epistemology, and a poetic praxeology are adopted. Like the
Floon Beetle, the study of how practitioners know, think, and act requires a
non-traditional mode of enquiry that embraces creative human agency, and
acknowledges its inevitable historicity and its fundamental embeddedness in
social practices.
Although the studies published here were written as independent papers,
published in journals, as chapters in books, or conference presentations, there
are recurring themes throughout them. These are: creative action, incessant
change, process, novelty, the complexity of organizational life, the unknow-
ability of the future, complex management, requisite variety, theory develop-
ment in organization and management studies, complex forms of
understanding and theorizing, phronesis and practical reason, and the relation-
ship between thinking and acting, theory and practice, reason and praxis in
organizations and in organizational research. If you see more than a fair share
of references to Bergson, Dewey, Gadamer, Heidegger, James, Lakoff, MacIn-
tyre, Polanyi, Toulmin, Taylor, Rorty, Whitehead, and Wittgenstein, it is be-
cause I find the work of these philosophers not only useful but highly
inspiring. In pointing out the limits of Cartesian reason, they have helped us
obtain, each in his own way, a more reasonable view of reason—reason as
orthos logos—a view that avoids hubris, is aware of the inescapably social as well
as embodied basis of all knowing, is reflexive, accepts agency and novelty, and
takes account of the arrow of time.
If you see several references to the work of Bateson, Beer, Foerster, Maturana,
and Varela, that is not only because these cyberneticians have provided a
holistic account of human knowledge that resonates with interpretativism,
but also because, in their search for wisdom, they have endowed us with an
ecological understanding of the world. I am neither a philosopher nor a
cybernetician but ever since I had the good fortune, at the Manchester Busi-
ness School, to have Richard Whitley teach me epistemology, Alan B. Thomas
 Introduction 7

methodology of social-scientific research, Stafford Beer cybernetics, and Tom

Lupton socio-technical systems, I can’t help thinking about organizations
(and social life in general) in philosophical and cybernetic terms.
And if you find Konl Weick popping up on nearly every other page of this
book, that is because I regard Weick’s work as the epitome of thoughtful
scholarship in organization studies, an enviable pursuit of creative explor-
ations into organizations broad-mindedly informed by American pragmatists,
European phenomenologists, social and cognitive psychologists, sociological
constructivists, and systemic and evolutionary thinkers. It is the ecological,
interpretive, process-driven orientation to organizations and organizational
research that I find so stimulating in Weick’s work and, in so far as I could,
I have tried to incorporate it in my own work.
What Toulmin (1990: 193–4) has aptly called the ‘ecological style’ of thinking
is how I would describe the underlying concern of the studies included in
this book, and how I would invite readers to judge them. The ecological
style seeks to embrace complexity rather than reduce it; it is sensitive to process,
context, and time; makes links between abstract analysis and lived experi-
ence; is aware of the reality-constituting role of language; accepts chance,
feedback loops, and human agency as fundamental features of social life;
outlines the social basis of all human knowing and thinking, and the con-
structed character of knowledge; and highlights the inherently creative nature
of human action. In pursuing an ecological style of thinking I have drawn
eclectically on strands of ethnomethodology and sociological analyses of
modernity, discursive psychology, Austrian economics, post-rationalist and
process philosophy, and organizational ethnography. Although I find the
pursuit of an ecological understanding of organizational and social behaviour
exhilarating, it is for the reader to judge how well this eclectic mix hangs
together.
Since this is a collection of papers, most of which were originally published
in other sources,2 there is inevitably some redundancy and several overlaps,
although I would like to think this is not necessarily a bad thing, provided
new insights are obtained. The extent to which this is the case is, of course,
for others to judge. As far as I am concerned, I am not building a theoretical
system in this book—I never consciously embarked on such a project in the
first place. In retrospect, I realize that what I have spent time doing in the last
ten years is to have explored a number of the above-mentioned themes, and
now, looking back, I am noticing, and drawing readers’ attention to, what has
been my main preoccupation all along—complex knowledge.
Part I, ‘Towards a Knowledge-based View of Organizations and their Envir-
onments’, focuses on understanding the different forms of organizational
