Abstract
The objective of this article is to assess the implications of s ystems architecture on the establishment of
organizational learning cycles, and its influence on possible forms of process integration. Dynamics o f
innovation of complex systems do not follow the pattern of mass-production industries. In complex systems
industries there is no dominant design and each new product generation remains in a fluid phase. This article
focuses on anal ysis of the dynamic phenomena that occu r when a system per forms its functions within the
operational environment. By considering successive generations of the China -Brazil Earth Resources Satellite
(CBERS) platform a s a case study a stylized cognitive model is presented. It is argued that learning by using is
practice-oriented epistemology to the extent that it requires the reflective confrontation of a previous stock of
knowledge with that derived from praxis, which is concrete, dynamic and relational. Knowledge generation
derived from learning by using – tacit and explicit – crystallizes a common knowledge base, allowing the
refinement of subsystems designs and interfaces through successive generation of products. Systems integration
capability building requires a project-based organization in ord er to merge operating and learning processes in a
multifunctional framework.
Key words: innovation in complex systems; procedural knowledge; systems integration capab ilities; emergent
properties; learning by using.
