Abstract

Expertise has usually been analysed at the individual or at the group level, but it is a key yet understudied issue for meta-organizations. In meta-organization studies, expertise has indeed been looked at through the lens of members' diverse expertise and how this helps metaorganizations take decisions. However, what is the expertise of a meta-organization and where does it reside exactly? The very nature of meta-organizations raises specific questions about expertise implying interactions with members and non-members. In his chapter, we build on an in-depth case study of a meta-organization in the cultural sector, which has developed a specific expertise about sustainable practices. Our findings help us define metaorganizational expertise as a set of skills built through a relational process founded on on a voluntary commitment of the members that results in accumulating and disseminating knowledge.
