The present paper is a response to a paper published by Ursula Schneider in Management Learning (Vol. 38, No.5) in which we try to clarify our position and illustrate how a discursive understanding of knowledge, as developed in our essay, can enrich the management learning debate. In building on Habermas’ theory of communicative action we suggest an understanding of knowledge which is based on intersubjective reasoning processes.

Key Words: knowledge • knowledge management • organizational learning
