This chapter explores the potential of the sociology of practice by reviewing the intellectual tradition that can be considered as the basis for practice-based studies (PBS). A distinction is drawn between considering practice as an empirical object and considering it as a relational epistemology with which knowledge can be produced on the basis of an ecological model of relations, primarily that between knowing and doing. This ecological model of relations is used to show how a practice can be analyzed during its recursive unfolding and how it develops within an equipped environment and interactions in a texture of practices. The potential of the sociology of practice is discussed by analyzing its theoretical and substantive contribution to organizational learning.
