This book investigates how organizational capabilities, knowledge, and expertise are actively constructed and maintained through the lens of process-oriented performance. The authors, a group of distinguished scholars in management and organizational studies, utilize a process-based framework to challenge static views of competence. By analyzing how individuals and groups enact skills in real-time, they argue that expertise is not a fixed asset but a dynamic, ongoing accomplishment within organizational environments.

Experts in organizational theory recognize this work as a significant contribution to process studies in management. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for scholars and advanced practitioners interested in the social construction of expertise.
