This paper comprehensively reviews the substantial body of research, which has
evolved over the past two decades in the area of knowledge and organizations.
In addition, the paper identifies an important area for future research on the
interplay of ethics and epistemology. The paper takes a brief historical look at
the development of the literature from within the resource-based theory of the
firm and then focuses in detail on some key thematic developments, which have
shifted the epistemological emphasis from resources to practices, discourses,
and most recently, ethics. The review provides a synthesis and evaluation of this
extensive body of research within organization and management studies as well
as some of the work which it is influenced by and draws upon in the fields of
epistemology (the philosophy of knowledge) as well as the sociology and
psychology of knowledge. The paper then identifies potentially valuable
directions for new research on the intellectual virtues.
