This thesis explores a conceptual understanding of dialogue within a community of
practice. It argues that meaningful conversations are at the core of critical, reflective,
and analytical praxis, and that a critical understanding holds transformative possibilities
for teaching and learning. Aspects of western and ethnic paradigms and their
theoretical constructs, which may either enhance or hinder current practices, are
identified, as are elements that arise from several case studies drawn from a large
banking organisation operating out of South Africa. It is hoped that an evaluation of the
research findings will provide a basis for an understanding of dialogue within a local
context and that, further, it will provide a platform for extended dialogical exploration
and research.
