Resumo

Pesquisas sobre cognição nas organizações têm sido fundamentadas em áreas e estudos multidisciplinares que se desenvolveram principalmente nos últimos cinquenta anos. Cognição organizacional tem recebido contribuições de abordagens computacionais e interpretativas e pode ser compreendida como uma área de teoria das organizações. Todavia, apesar de apoiar esses desenvolvimentos, este artigo aponta para a necessidade de se avançar e propor definições mais concisas e precisas sobre cognição organizacional, na direção de conceitualizações que possam esclarecer a sua distinção e suas fronteiras com os conceitos de inteligência, autonomia, aprendizagem e gestão do conhecimento organizacional. Adicionalmente, este artigo destaca a necessidade de concentração de maiores esforços para a redução da distância entre teoria e prática no campo da cognição organizacional. Para atender a essas necessidades, este trabalho contribui para o campo da cognição organizacional através de revisão de literatura, conceitualizações e a sua introdução no contexto da administração estratégica de recursos.

Palavras-chave

Cognição organizacional. Habilidades organizacionais. Recursos estratégicos. Incerteza ambiental.

Abstract

Organizational cognition has benefited from computational and interpretive approaches that have primarily occurred over the last fifty years. This paper recognizes and supports these important developments but argues that organizational cognition must advance toward more concise and sharp conceptualizations with clear distinctions and frontiers regarding organizational intelligence, autonomy, learning, and knowledge management. Additionally, this paper suggests that advancements in organizational cognition must bridge theory and practice. This work reviews existing literature, proposes conceptualizations of organizational cognition, and introduces organizational cognition into the strategic resource context.

Keywords

Organizational cognition. Organizational ability. Strategic resources. Environmental uncertainty.
