| Résumé : |
This paper address the possibility to ground managerial expertise on experience. If lived experience can be considered as a source of learning, its contribution for elaborating expert knowledge in management seems much less obvious. Critics have highlighted an ideological tendency to reify management in a generic body of knowledge that does not take into account practices. The aim of this article is less to contribute to the content of such corpus than to apprehend the expertise from an experiential perspective. A pragmatist lens is privileged in order to define experiential expertise as a cognitive, embodied and situated activity. Our fieldwork is a simulation of a Mars exploration in the Utah desert. Adopting an organizational ethnography approach, this article focuses on the practice of the head of mission. This practice, initially considered, as an enigma by the crew, must composed with a collective that unfolds according to different orientations. Results allow us to avoid taken for granted ideas regarding the intrinsic content of managerial expertise and reinforce the importance of the plurality of ways of living an experience for the accomplishment of collective action in an exploration situation. On this basis, we highlight an alternative approach to traditional management learning. |
