From the Lit review section, Internationalisation and Learning org paper
"However, the implementation of domestic routines in psychologically distant business contexts may also lead to the generation of experiential knowledge, since the as routines are implemented in different environments, divergences and variation is bound to occur (Cummings and Teng, 2003). One important reason for this is that, while organisational routines may resemble templates of codified knowledge, they still rest on the implicit assumptions of the business culture in which they originate. Implanting such routines challenges shared beliefs and breeds variety. This may fuel routine variation and change at the local level, which in turn may challenge the existing routines of the entire organisation due to their nested nature (Sinkula, 2002; Zollo and Winter, 2002). This leads to the second issue: How do organisational knowledge in the form of existing routines affect what is actually learned from the local application of organisational routines? "
I think this is very close to the question I'm trying to arrive at: How might organisational knowledge, in the form of local, existing routines, affect what is actually learned from the local application of [Emerald] organisational knowledge?
Feels a bit tighter...
