Abstract

(VF)La R&D globalisée des firmes multinationales comporte un risque intrinsèque de dispersion cognitive et stratégique. Fort souvent, ce problème est analysé au travers des difficultés à faire circuler les connaissances dans les organisations. Estimant cette approche insuffisante, nous proposons une approche en termes de cognition située. La firme multinationale est alors définie comme une organisation qui met en place des dispositifs de partage des connaissances. En complément, des situations de gestion des connaissances prennent place en fonction des comportements des acteurs qui cherchent à résoudre des problèmes de coordination. Nous montrons que les dispositifs sont des instruments de gouvernement alors que les situations sont des espaces d’autonomie et d’incertitude. Cette approche est illustrée par la comparaison de deux firmes multinationales implantées en France. Ces deux cas permettent d’illustrer la réalisation d’une régulation dynamique entre dispositifs et situations de gestion des connaissances. (VA)The globalized R&D of multinational firms involves an intrinsic risk of cognitive and strategic dispersion. Very often, this problem is analyzed through the difficulties of knowledge diffusion in organizations. Considering this approach insufficient, we propose an approach in terms of situated cognition. Then the multinational firm is defined as an organization that sets up knowledge sharing devices. In addition, knowledge management situations take place depending on the behavior of the actors who seek to solve coordination problems. We show that the devices are instruments of government while the situations are spaces of autonomy and uncertainty. We illustrate our analysis with the comparison of two multinational firms located in France. These two cases illustrate the achievement of dynamic regulation between knowledge management devices and situations.
