Reviews
... entails aggressively novel ideas about the relationships between leading edge technology and empowered staff and, pivotally, about how to make good use of collective learning. But most of all, Patriotta gives us new insight into how to do empirical research in a KM frame. Prometheus, Vol. 23, No. 1, March 2005 Patriotta's book is certainly of the enduring kind; it offers us some brilliant developments that really start to address the fundamental question of knowing in the dynamic of organizing, of 'organizational knowledge in the making'. Grounded in an insightful analysis of the literature and the development of original methodological tools, the research analyses the process of knowing within two different plants of Fiat Auto. Organization Studies The style of the book is vivid and rich ... Patriotta's book constitutes a real contribution to a renewal of the mainstream conception of knowledge in management. It is rooted in solid theoretical ground and could be the first stone upon which a process theory of knowing can be built. Organization Studies As a whole the book represents an important contribution by highlighting key issues theoretically, empirically and methodologically. Scandinavian Journal of Management
